He wasn't made. Evidently that was one of his major beefs with the family.

It's a new morning in America... fresh, vital. The old cynicism is gone. We have faith in our leaders. We're optimistic as to what becomes of it all. It really boils down to our ability to accept. We don't need pessimism. There are no limits.

I don't believe he was made , jimmy the weasel I believe talked about it . Maybe in the Greene book . Where he was recanting his intial conversation about Greene and nardi with delsanter . Tony Hughes also told me nardi wasn't made if that means anything .

allot of the guys on that list probably were not made . At its peak cleveland had 40-50 members according to Angelo Lonardo' testimony.

Yes, Briar Hill Jimmy aka. "Two Gun Jimmy" as he always wore an old suit with an open shit and two old S&W 38's stuck in his belt.
I played poker in a couple of different games in Struthers that belonged to RC. These games were run by RC's cousin Junior Senzarino. Junior was killed at his home with a 12ga.
Jimmy was a regular at the game held on Youngstown-Struthers Rd. next door to the Tangier. We were playing on the 4th of July when someone set off a couple of M80's.
Jimmy came out of his seat guns a blazen.While the rest of us hit the floor :)

I'm open to your thoughts. If someone wasn't made, we can remove him from being made and leave it open (associate or whatever).

What are your thoughts on Youngstown? Anyone here that should be removed? Anyone here actually with PB and should be removed?

Wow - Believe me I'm no expert but there more Cleveland gut list for Youngstown than I thought there were.
For sure you need to check with JCB about Big Dom. I always thought he was a Pittsburgh guy all the way.

I think the same about DM (read what I wrote), but I don't know enough. This chart is not definitive by any means.

Everything looks good to me expect the nardis

Wasnt Mallamo like A elder statesmen freindly with Scalish and MIlano and Pitt admin as well. It was I believe Charlie Carrabia who reached out to Mallamo to settle his beef with Pittsburgh in 1980.

Here is my opinion on made or not made , most likely not made at least in the 60's , Ron Carrabia , john licavoli blumetti both nardis , lamonge, callavaro the rest I have to look at my notes

Same say Carrabia and both nardis were made but If so when did they get buttoned is the question
