and this is my first post...thanks


Good point, Joe Bonanno was indeed a gunner for Maranzano during the Castellamarese war. And welcome to the board.

I'm sure Carlo Gambino had done hits atleast in Sicily. He was respected by powerful mobsters almost immediately in the U.S and I contribute that to "Killers respect Killers". Frank Costello however...I don't actually know but I'd bet not
