Originally posted by Turnbull: Q. Who were Gambino's two underbosses at the time of his death? A. Its debatable if Gambino had two underbosses at the time of his death. Aniello Dellacoce held the title, replacing Joe Biondo in the mid '60's. My guess for a second underboss (IF there was one) would be Paul Castellano. Assuming that answer is correct - Q. Aniello Dellacroce was stepped over (for the second time) when Gambino selected Castellano to succeed his as Boss of the Family. When was the first time Dellacroce was stepped over?

Technically, Bruno's predecessor was Antonio Pollina, who was named by Joseph Ida as the new boss (in 1959). For a short time Pollina, as the boss, plotted against underling Bruno, causing Bruno to visit with Carlo Gambino. Gambino, friendly with Bruno, showed his muscle and named Bruno as the Philly boss. Pollina realized what the situation was and acquiesced. (I said it was a tricky answer). Turnbull's question still stands.

Staying with the convention, which mobster "honeymooned" there in AC during the convention? Edit: Oooops, sorry, DP, you got in there ahead of me with your answer while I was typing mine.
