Thanks for sharing MightyDR. 26 years old when Bonanno was made boss. Crazy to think that most guys at 26 are years away from even being made and he became a boss. Right place at the right time for sure!

Count Chocula is probably an upgrade over Paul Castellano.

From now on, nothing goes down unless I'm involved. No blackjack no dope deals, no nothing. A nickel bag gets sold in the park, I want in. You guys got fat while everybody starved on the street. Now it's my turn.

Wonder if that Sarcone mentioned is of the Sarcone bread/rolls fame in S. Philly? Great rolls.
The photos you referred to, I can't remember exactly where I got them, but I was just dicking around in Google Images and found a few ones I don't recall seeing before on an Instagram-like page someone had with photos of gangsters.
Salvie was a good looking kid. Some decent fashions on show considering the time period.

He had the chicks too..that girl Rosa was the one I believe Salvie dumped Maria Merlino for,,,they were childhood friends ...she wrote a book about it. She's now an assistant to a major fashion designer up in N.Y.C.
Tony Ducks had some scary looking eyes. Someone posted a mugshot from his younger days, he looked creepy as hell in that photo, too.
