I'm sure you know that Henry introduced me to Paul and I was invited to his house. We also had dinner at the Esquire Club in Wheeling. First rate

Hey, I'm back in the game. If you wanted to DM or call me I'm around, my schedule is completely open. I was in an MA program, 2 classes is full time, I was doing 3.. Hope all is well otherwise. Salut.

I'm going to be getting back into writing "the project." I'm in the 1820's right now, I'll conclude it in America in the 1920's with some modern continuities but the modern isn't my forte. Anything from that, once its done, you can use, just give me a credit. I'll also have to utilize you for the back half of the project once I get into Pennsylvania and North America, I'll credit you, if you want a co-authorship (along with 3-4 other guys) let me know, it's not like there's any money in it anyway. I really think you should try and do a "sequel" to it and go from 1900-2000. Whatever I got, whatever I can assist with, I'm open. You need to do by a book "by James..." along with etc in smaller text.

Maybe another Podcast

[JCB1977]

Thx CC! I’ll be in touch.

The 2 part series with Bert is actually pretty good.

@FOH- FBI Agent John Stoll gave some colorful stories and info. It’s produced by Mahoning County Historical Society. Their archives are unreal, well documented. Check it out, both parts. Gotta give credit to Bertram for this one.

Thanx sand I'm sure I'd enjoy reading Agent Stoll's stories, but how do I access those docs from the Historical Society?

You should consider doing a documentary. Not sure a podcast would have lasting value. Comes a point of diminishing returns. I'm learning video editing software, perhaps I can help you with that down the road. But you, you're better at getting the locals to talk than I am, it's your fucking local accent which would be great for a doc. No NY bullshit, this is an Ohio River Valley affair. Interviews with YT and surrounding areas would be good. Think on it and I'll help however I can. You have my full support, compaesan.

I'm also down to do some charts, but we need documented sources. Regarding the 60's I read the files and have my own interpretations. The informants were clearly not members and that makes a difference. It's like Gene Borrello berating Franzese for using the term Caporegime because no one used it around him because he wasn't a member. We then have John Pennisi, an amico nos, correcting and stating for the record that it was indeed used. That type of thing. It's their organization and outsiders, like us or even former associates don't really have an in. It's my thing with Scott Burnstein who can name off every Detroit operative and their background in ways that I cannot, I'll never surpass him in Detroit knowledge. But I still know there wasn't 17 capos in 1960. We all have different approaches and strong points (and weak points). Our weak points shouldn't exclude us, those who don't have an ego, just a strong passion passion towards this subject.

Regarding the early stuff, I'd still like to sit on that and avoid certain words and terms, but we'll talk and catch up soon. In the end, we'll all get credit. Salut.

Am I safe to assume that your offer to help with a documentary doesn't include me. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me

It’s a video...sponsored by The society.

If a documentary happens, of course you’d be contacted. As would the children of the subjects. I posted this because the 2 part documentary is fantastic. Stoll gives great insight on Lenny. They “muted” the answers to the questions on the investigation of the Joey Naples murder but it’s obvious they are talking about the Dinsio brothers. You should tune in.

Yes, you had discussed that with me. Good stuff.

Thanks CC. As always, your dedication and willingness to help is appreciated.
