B, what's your take on Bernardi's affiliation, if any? He did have a large organization.

No clue on him -- I will look to see what I can find.

What's interesting is that in addition to the Profaci-Magliocco clan having close ties to Schenectady and Albany, Carmine Persico had a relationship with the Utica crew. His property upstate wasn't super close to Utica but apparently they interacted in the general area.

Any idea who specifically in Utica? Existing reports?

Can't recall offhand and maybe a "relationship" is overstating it but they did make contact. If I remember right it was Rosario Mancuso who had other ties to NYC Families. Persico was also supposed to mediate the Buffalo dispute on behalf of the Commission according to the Palma Boys tapes.

The FBI surveilled Sam Grio and Joe Falcone at Joe Colombo's upstate property in 1966 too.

Another Colombo connection is that they inducted Dominick Bretti into their Family. He was based in Utica.

Really? Always thought he was a Maggadino guy.
