Hi Freddie C. Welcome, and tell us about those cocktail waitresses. Was it really two at a time....? Nevermind.

Having Tom Hagen in the storyline would have opened up some possible subplots with his son, Fr. Andrew Hagen. Would Tom have tried to use his son for any inside info at the Vatican? Come to think of it, how did Andrew get "the calling." Were the Hagen's devout Catholics? setting a good example for young Andrew? Or did Andrew just pick it up on his own? We're never privvy to that storyline. Being in a family of crime almost makes Andrew's vocation seem implausible. Tom and Theresa must have kept him well insulated.
