"Ronnie kept Hootie at arm's length."

And he wasn't even armed. Impressive!

Just read that Katherine Narducci's (Charmaine from the Sopranos) father Nicky was connected and was killed outside his bar on the Upper East Side in 1976. Any other info about this? What family he was connected to and why he was whacked? Thanks. Pogo A Nicholas Narducci, 29 (2234 1st Avenue, New Y...

This may not impact your chart that much but 1948 is wrong. Frank Castellana was still alive in 1958. I think he died in 1959.
He lived in Brooklyn in the 1940s but relocated to the Bronx. In 1958, his address was listed at 1706 Bogart Avenue, Bronx.

"family's 87-year-old boss, Andrew (Mush) Russo, who was suffering from several ailments, including dementia, died."

Nice pick to lead a Family. Reminds me of uncle junior.

Thanks for posting!

If I remember correctly, Costello did two different bids. One in early 1950s, the second one in the mid 1950s. Catena was acting boss during Costello's second bid. No confirmation on who was acting boss during his first bid though but one report says Vincent Alo, Alfred Toriello and a third whose na...

The acting boss was Gerald Catena.

Bill Feather's site lists Tommy Bullets Licata as a Lucchese member fyi. Feather is wrong on this. Licata definitely a Genovese captain from around mid 1940s til he died in 1952. After his death, Licata´s crew was merged with a smaller Brooklyn crew and Frasca was made captain. I have no other deta...
