Reading doesn’t seem like a strong point on this forum. Not one person in this post has claimed these families were criminally active. But LCN does exist in these cities since we have members still alive. I don't know how many times a member has to say it but a family is a family until the last member dies. The numbers are irrelevant to their recognition. New Orleans had 6 members in 1968 and they were recognized by every other family and given more respect than anyone even though they were probably the smallest family.
