I get it… but I specifically foia requested 2006 to see what Hudson was talking about. I do have a request for all FBI Buffalo family charts from 1974 - present… been waiting a long time and still have a long wait in front of me for them.

My only point is take anything Parlato or Hudson write/wrote with a grain of salt. I quote them from time to time... but I definitely understand they have an agenda.

We need to get you a hobby before this one trial is over.

LOL, but to get is back on topic, I believe Buffalo’s power diminished when 11 members were put in charge of their respective territories and people in them after Magaddino’s death. Despite having a few acting bosses some reports indicate there was no strong central authority until Todaro was put in place by the commission. Fino suggests this in his book as well.

Here's what I have...

1967 report: 73 listed members
1967 report: 68 listed members (48 confirmed, 20 suspected; included Rochester)
1985 FBI: 56 listed members
1989 FBI: 45 cited members
1993 FBI: 49 listed members
1997 Hamilton PD: 34 listed members (some missing)
2006 FBI: 23 listed members
2013 article: 20 estimated members

According to Bebe at the Buffalo News authorities estimated the number of members at 100 in 1985 and 80 when his article was written in Nov of 1987.

80-100 in the 1980s? Not a chance.

It's the hometown of the greatest drummer of all time, Neil Peart.

Geddy Lee lived just around the block from me when I was a kid, and my grade school faced his street. My buddies and I often saw him out cutting his front lawn. In music class, we’d crank up “Tom Sawyer” every chance we got. Good times.
