In 1974 they made Vincent Cafaro, Patsy Genese and possibly Tino Fiumara. I don´t know who the Luccheses made (and if they did). But in any case, Casso was not one of them.



Sorry guys about this but it looks like the only guy who was actually made before the books were opened in 1976 is Carmine Persico´s brother Alphonse. The rest of them were most likely made in 1976 or later. Vincent Cafaro said that he was made together with Patsy Genese in El Cortile Restaurant on Mulberry Street in 1974. Cafaro must have been wrong about the year because El Cortile did not open until 1975. And before that, the place was a bedding store, not a restaurant. Scratch all those names and years except Persico´s.


HK, I always thought Tommy Gambino was made under Castellano, not Carlo?
