back on topic, anybody have an idea when this "family" was at its peak, however small that may have been? any estimates on # of made guys? i always got the impression that dallas worked close with new orleans back in the good old days.
Dallas worked closely with New Orleans, even in the not good old days. Contrary to the FBI the family did not cease to exist when Civello (who was a Baton Rouge native) died in 1972. Joe Campisi took over and he was very close to New Orleans as well. Campisi and the Marcellos were tight through the mid 1980s, and included Tampa in the mix. Vincent LoScalzo met with both Campisi and Joe Marcello after taking over when Santo Jr died in 1987.
