There were no made guys in the Beaver Falls area, as Frank Unis Sr. and Frank Unis Jr. were considered "top associates." Lawrence "Larry Boy" Amodie handled all the gambling in Lawrence County/New Castle, PA area. Frank Unis Sr. and Frank Unis Jr. reported to Vincenzo "Brier Hill Jimmy" Prato in Youngstown and after Prato passed away, they reported to Joey Naples. When Naples was gunned down in August of 1991, the Unis family reported to Lenny Strollo and Henry Zottola. Strollo sent Lawrence "Jeep" Garono, his top lieutenant as well as Robert "Bobby" Poghen to collect all illegal gambling proceeds from Amodie in New Castle and Unis in Beaver County. Do you know if they had their hands at all into drugs in the beaver county area? http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1129&dat=20020410&id=SIVIAAAAIBAJ&sjid=PXADAAAAIBAJ&pg=2926,5683188 still remember when this one happened(previously referenced cop killing related to this cocaine ring)

There are no films about the Pittsburgh Mob. They worked very closely with the Bufalino Family, as Pittsburgh underboss Gabriel "Kelly" Mannarino and his brother Sam Mannarino were very close to Russell Bufalino. Russell and Kelly were partners in the Sans Souci Hotel & Casino in Havana, Cuba. Also, once Russell and Kelly were dead, Henry "Zebo" Zottola and Lenine "Lenny" Strollo worked very closely with Billy D'Elia in a few waste hauling schemes from Scranton, PA to Youngstown, OH. When LaRocca was in charge, one of his closest friends was Angelo Bruno. They spent a lot of time together but the Philly-Pittsburgh relationship soured when Mike Genovese took over and Nicky Scarfo became boss. http://books.google.com/books?id=xzwPsdg...ino&f=false
