You are correct. He was made under Anastasia.

Gallo may have been made in the late ‘40s but the rest were most likely made under Anastasia

Hey, is it known when abouts the following guys (and others of their generation) in the Gambinos were made?

Neil Dellacroce
Joe N. Gallo
Paul Castellano
Tommy Rava
Sal Avarello

Am just curious if they would’ve been made under Mangano, or under Anastasia?
