oldest LCN to turn - 03/09/13 02:37 PM
This addresses two major personal concerns about the boys old and new.
Newer or younger (length of membership) guys are more likely to cross the aisle, right? Seems intuitive for a host of reasons.
But re the topic question: Who's the oldest (age) to have flipped? Be interesting to see a table of turncoats by chronological age.

Maybe George Barone, who testified a few years ago in a case regarding waterfront.
He may not have been made member.

Wasn't he highest ranking member to ever turn at that time?
