Thats true Ricky but you see, Cerone was always somehow blocked by some certain situation in receiving Accardos or Riccas spot. For example I already explanied one of Cerones situations in my Battaglia article, regarding the situation during the mid 60s when Battaglia took the number one spot, while Cerone got quite mad about it.

So my point is that Cerone was possibly with the Outfit since the 1930s but his time arrived too late such as the late 60s and he went to jail. Then in 73 he was released and 10 years later he was again imprisoned and that was the end. So when you write about Cerone, you also have to constantly mention his relatives, Capezio, Accardo etc. meaning its not that simple. And on top of that the Elmwood Park crew was always the most elusive one of them all. Its not like Battaglia or Alex but ill make it lol
