Great pics wow. That prison photo with Pitera, senter, and the rest of those guys? The younger guy kneeling down in the front kinda looks like Tommy Reynolds from Bath Ave you think? Your instincts are correct. That is Tommy Reynolds.

Glasses Guy is Jerry Chilli from Knickerbocker Village. yeah, its chilli, big heroin dealer, bonannos I believe. Bonanno's I believe? Sherlock Holmes over here. News update folks...Gerry Chilli is a Bonanno member. Chilli has been a well known member of the Bonanno Family for almost 50 years. Originally part of the Lower East Side Bonanno crews out of "present day" 2 bridges area. Many many Bonanno guys from that area. Benny "lefty ruggiero" whose main hangout was the Holiday bar at 116 Madison. Tony Mirra, whose main place was the Bus Stop Lunch.. at 115 across the street. A big time player back in the midst of the Banana Wars Frank Mari had a social club at 43 Madison.The main Capo back in the day was Little Moe Presinzan whose main HQ was The Paris at 118 South Street. The genovese still have a presence in the area, Acting Street Boss Petey red DiChiara has an active social club at 43 Market street, not far from the other old clubs. Not only that but at 100 Madison was a conglomerate of the Genovese, Colombo, and Bonanno Families container repair business. You can disagree with my political opinions, but don't ever say I don't have anything to offer when it comes to Italian-American Organized Crime in NYC.Been researching it since I was 15. Over 20 years ago. NICE information. Thank you.

John Gotti? Yes, obviously. Frankie Loc? No way, Frankie was 6 years older and wasn't even that close to Gotti in the late 70s when it was obvious that pic was taken. The guy in the photo was a little known hanger on of the Bergin crew in the late 70s. Man, dude, do you know your shizznit

last pic of tony rossi & sonny black also shows joe pistone in back if u look hard. Yes it is. You can miss it if you don't pay attention. What ever happened to Tony Rossi? He was an undercover cop too wasn't he? I never heard what happened with his part of the investigation. He is still alive but retired...Apparently he never really went into hiding I don't think. Here he is a few years ago:  image hosting over 10mb

He wrote a book about Operation Donnie Brasco also. Thanks man. Have you read it? It any good? I like anything near Tampa, spent many days down there. I did years ago, it's pretty decent IIRC. If nothing else it's interesting to see what happened from a perspective different than Pistone's viewpoint. It's unfortunate that in the movie they made Robb (aka Rossi) seem like a bumbling idiot, from his POV there were plenty of aggravations with the New York end of operation as well from the point-of-view of the Florida operation. There are some interesting things from when he did some undercover work with a smaller family in the 1970s (I think Pittsburgh, but maybe Buffalo?) and did some work with the Pizza Connection busts after Donnie Brasco. My memory is hazy, it's been about ten years.

That pic of Frankie Notch is really old. He hasn't looked like that for a long time.
Good pics.

All God's children are not beautiful. Most of God's children are, in fact, barely presentable.
I never met anyone who didn't have a very smart child. What happens to these children, you wonder, when they reach adulthood?

There just seems to be about t 5-6 pictures of him in existence. I am sure there are a bunch of mugshot photos around but I have only seen 1. Also, I have only seen like 3 pics of Manna. I am shocked that a prison photo has no surfaced since he got clipped.

Cool pic of Scarfo, not sure I've seen any of him looking that young.
Tony Pro, thanks for the info on the book. I'll have to check it out. I know in the Brasco book he made it seem like Rossi went bad at one point, especially around the time Mirra claimed he whacked up that junk money with Rocky or whoever they said it was. IIRC, Rossi (according to Mirra anyways) was the one who vouched for Mirra by saying he knew about it or whatever. Thanks again You're welcome.
