Joe Lombardo had a hell of a story to tell. The Cicero boys were also very enterprising. The guys who largely kept their names out of the papers were also very interesting - guys like Mario Gabelli and Babe DeMonte. I also like the Rush Street guys like Joe Arnold and Joe DiVarco.
Would Frank LaPorte (sp) in Chicago Heights be someone who avoided the spotlight ?I believe you mentioned in an earlier post that you read "The Boys In Chicago Heights." It seems to me that those guys somehow managed to avoid publicity, at least until the chop shop wars started. I could be wrong, but you don’t see too much info on some of those fellows. Matt Luzi did a great job on the book (IMO).
