That leaves Ciancaglini and Stanfa as the only confirmed members remaining who got made before the 80s

He was the nephew of longtime Consigliere Joe Rugnetta. He was made in 1964 by Bruno.

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.

GA and DS only briefly mentioned it in Mob Talk Sitdown 48, one of the newer ones exclusive to the website. Schratwieser said something like, "You and I both know there have been multiple ceremonies over the past five or so years".

I’m not sure I believe that multiple ceremonies were held since 2015. I’ve heard that a few times in the last few years, but never heard any rumors of who it was. No names mentioned at all. We would have heard by now.
