For people outside the Area James Licavoli aka Jack White and Leo "Lips" Moceri (May he rot in Hell is too good for him).

Plus he had Paul & Mike Romeo.

If I recall correcly Angelo LOnardo testified before the senate that They gave up youngstown, He then said Polizzi did it but he didnt state what year. I thought that was interesting statement. I wonder what he meant by that . From

Youngstown went exclusively to Pittsburgh by 1982, a few years before LaRocca died.

YEah in the 80's , maybe lonardo miss spoke , but he said POlizzi oked it. which lead me to believe it was way earlier to cleveland ever have full control

Stroccos, could you find any photos of Paul or Mike Romeo?
