Not specifically but it wouldn't surprise me. While I don't recall off the top of my head the Genovese family having a crew based in Connecticut like the Gambinos (someone will have to correct me if I'm totally spacing it), they always had guys from New York and Springfield crews active there.
John F. "Sonny" Castagna ran illegal casino games in social clubs in New Britain, Meriden and Hartford
and Volpe had a bar on New Britian Ave in Hartford. Maybe you mean that?
Yes, my bad. I meant that Volpe had a bar on New Britain Ave

Personally speaking, I found this crew (especially when Bruno was in charge) to be highly entertaining. I hope a book comes out in the future strictly on the Springfield crew.

This thread morphed into a psuedo Connecticut thread. Here is a really good article I found. Right after Billy Grasso gets killed his crew is called to Boston with the admin. great conversation taped.
Taddei was a well known guy around here that helped a lot of people. his son is a maniac.

I'm not recalling a Gambino Capo named Angelo Culmo? Someone help me out here.
