There is something to that don’t know if it was as far as planned but something right.

The Persico’s were very social people ( Carmine was in everything ) not high class but not hiding out in a brick row home either . They had all those cousins and in-laws and nieces and nephews aunts uncles up state all staying on same compound also Carmine and his brothers have houses there but all those neighborhoods guys that grew up with them would stay up there they would learn to shoot ride horses motorcycles Army jeeps that group of guys from many families from Red Hook area and ect.. and all that area stayed hanging with each other.
