Good call B. I should have been more careful when I posted that. Never trust your memory without verifying first. I still think they split things between Scoops and Sodano when they were both active captains. Considering that historically those groups (Patty, Blackie etc. & Simone/Pontani etc. didn't mix much it would have made some sense but only if they were reporting to the same place, so maybe they just split up the north jersey guys between them.
Yeah, I remember being under that impression too, that the Newark crew had been split in the 1990s. According to Fresolone, that was their plan after they inducted him -- to place the new recruits under Fresolone as a new captain, and keep the existing members in the original crew. Of course the new recruits weren't recognized after that, but it's possible they still went with the plan to have two groups since that was already on their minds.
