I don't get into Dentico and older Jersey City stuff apart from Newsboy Moriarty in my book (really concentrate on Bayonne Joe). I find this thread really interesting. So many Jersey guys, so little time!
That is why the book will be great! So much has gone on in New Jersey but it hasn't received the same level of attention. I have only ever read tidbits about Moriarty and Bayonne Joe— they sound really interesting. I always wondered how Moriarty operated as an independent for so long.
I think it is like you said Sonny, without any really high-level cooperator a lot of stories never get told. And unfortunately, I think a lot of the interesting stories along the Hudson are Genovese-related.
I cant believe Larry is still alive. He cant still be active. He was to be like 100yrs old or close to it. He was in his late 80s last time he was picked up !
