In talking to those who know in Eastie, Mark Rosetti, Darin Bufalino, Jack Vierra, Mark Casella, Shawn Lynch and some of the others listed, all grew up together, and, either hung out and/or went to school together. They've kept in touch with each other through the years, and, have been seen in each others company, and, most likely were up to no good.

No one seems to know how much of a part was played by these long time childhood friends in getting Casella elected as a Representative in Revere, as he was also known to associate with "associates" who were much older than these guys, as were the others.
