I love to talk about the old mafia, and, its origins. but, this can become confusing. yes, mildred reina was valachis wife. daughter of Gaetano reina. as valachi says in his book, if he woulnt have been murdered he would have been the head of the family, which is now known as the luchesse family. the valachi papers lays down some interesting history. im surprised its not used as more of a source.
