He was the last king of the Steel Town underworld.

King Book Maker, yes, but not Boss. I believe that Chucky was the last Boss, per say.

Nickey is standing behind Charlie Murgie at the head of the table. I'm sitting next to Charlie on his right while Michael and Jo Jo are to his left. Goes to show just how "strong" Charlie was.
I will PM you the images I have and hopefully you will be able to tell me about the image you're talking about.

Thanks a lot for the info you have given me today.

(I couldn't find the source). But there is one person in the photo I'm particularly curious about since I've seen him in numerous other photos and can't lay a finger on who he is or how far up he was in the Pittsburgh structure. He has a beard, wearing a grey bucket hat and beige sweater. On one pinterest post it says his name was Lou DiMaggio however I don't know if this is true as I cannot find any more than that one mention of name.
Those are my pictures from Charlie's Roost, a hunting camp in Tionesta, PA.You're welcome to post whatever one or ones you might have questions.
Off the top of my head the only DiMaggio from camp was Nickey D. As far as how high up some of the other "fellows," after John LaRocca died : Michael Genovese - Boss, Jo Jo Pecora - under Boss and Charlie Murgie, Consigliere. I guess that as high as it gets.
Very interesting, I had no idea they were yours.
This is the person I am referring to.
Do you know who it could be?
