Thanks for the list. So for people like Louis Battista. He would have been around 60 when Scalish died. Would he be retired at that point? Seems a little young for that. Because his name never comes up in any investigations or testimony. During all the arrests and trials in the multiple post Greene/Nardi war cases its always the same incredibly small group of people. So I'm trying to get a picture of what the organization was really like in 1976. Like these are the ten or so members actively involved in the Cleveland family, these are the fifteen or so members who just work on their own, and these are the fifteen or so guys who are totally retired(and these two are in Florida and this one is in Arizona...). Trying to get a feel for what Licavoli had to work with at that time. Just pretty curious about the situation. [/quote]

There were somewhere in neighborhood of 30 made guys left in Cleveland in 76 . Most older or semi active. Since Scalish never made any or very few guys. The family was dying out to Attrition. Jack White was A hell of Captain . He was no boss. His first mistake was putting Leo Lips as his underboss. The consensus among Cleveland's underworld seems to be that Angelo Lonardo or JOhn Nardi should of been the next one to take the reins. Jack White did win A mob war and beat a murder case but he was no boss and was not respected by many local players or other crime families.
