He was an Associate in Frattianos mini SF Crew during the 1970s. Don't know of he was ever made after that but like Velotta I highly doubt it.

Pogo do you know if sal aramena was a made guy ? I seen him listed as Tampa guy and then moved to Cali but I can’t find anything to determine if he was made or not

I remember they also had Sal Amarena as the Boss and a bunch of now known independents as Soldiers. Back then it seemed that any Italain busted for a crime in SF during the 90s was lumped in as a made member of SF.

@Dpg I dunno

I saw velotta's name in a post B made that Skinny was proposed in 1968 in A bompensario file. So when i saw he was a so called boss i wanted to see if there way any merit to it . I will have to find my copy of Fratianos book to see what it says about Skinny being made if he ever was offically made or is this some internet rumor.
