Sinatra/Gambino pic
Does anyone know why the pic with SInatra and the mobsters in the infamous Westchester Premier Theater pic has Joseph Gambino blurred in some pics and others he not? I know they blurred Fratianno in some which was ridiculous since he did tv interviews.
Re: Sinatra/Gambino pic
I've never seen that picture with Joe Gambino blurred. Where did you see that?

Re: Sinatra/Gambino pic
Anyone know whatever happened to Salvatore Spatola who's in the pic? Someone said he was a bronx guy?
Re: Sinatra/Gambino pic
When his uncle passed he went back to Sicily for a while as it was probably a lot safer and less BS to deal with in regard to the Albanians who were looking to take over all the Gambino places. I've heard he has since come back and is living in Westchester, but how active he is is pretty debatable.

Re: Sinatra/Gambino pic
He is 88 years old so probably inactive at this point.

Pogo- who is 88? They say Joseph died and why was his pic blurred? What happened to Spatola?

Spatola is 88. Turns 89 in 3 months.

Re: Sinatra/Gambino pic
No way Sal is 89. There are a ton of Spatolas running around both here and Palermo. Joe would be about 90-91 today if he was alive, Sal was probably about 10 years younger or more. Probably got the wrong Sal.
Re: Sinatra/Gambino pic
Just found out he's 74. Born in 1946.

Re: Sinatra/Gambino pic
That's the wrong Salvatore Spatola. The one you are talking about was from Brooklyn and was peripherally involved in Pizza Connection and heroin. The Salvatore from the pic lived in the Bronx and had a few ganbling/video poker things and did some shylocking in addition to having the club/cafe on Crescent Avenue. Believe me when I tell you, the guy from the pic was an "under-achiever" and never even got pinched, nevermind a senate subcommittee investigation.

Re: Sinatra/Gambino pic
Thanks Bruno - I guess that pic was his claim to fame. Was he actually made and is his club still there?
Re: Sinatra/Gambino pic
He got made late 70's just before his uncle Joe went away the first time for the garbage/waste management thing in Bronx-Westchester. The club is long gone. Over 15 years probably now. It's now a laundromat and is right underneath a big city owned building at 2340 Belmont Avenue.
