Jim the principal hung out at Caponigro's 311 Club and was actually murdered by the Fiumara crew later on. Fresolone said he was his principal when he went there.

Not a big deal to list "bookie" in the yearbook when the f'n principal is a Genovese associate.
I’ll check later but it should, an article about Queli says he was principle of East Side High School in Newark, same one as Fresolone.

He wasn't the principal yet, but he did work there. From the same yearbook(1972) as the Fresolone pic:

Maranzano and D’Aquila have to be top of anyones list. As far as photos go I always liked to see the ones with big groups of made guys in them like the famous Ribera club photo or the Chicago last supper photo. Many great photos from jail too especially the ones with made guys from different families across the country posing together.

Small correction, 5 of them were murdered, 1 died of natural causes and Francesco Arcadi & Antonio Vanelli are still alive. Vanelli was targeted in the summer of 2016 but the killers unfortunately shot a civilian that looked like him.

To Everyone: I am not sure if there is or isn't a photo available, but I would like to see a picture of Santo Sorge.
