Hi Chitown, Glad you're here. We will respond to that Chicago Hater Ivy the same way he does to us. I am quoting the Chicago Crime Commision/ F.B.I. Report of 1997 which said there were 70 made guys and bewtween 700 to 1,200 Associates every time he comes up with his bullshit. Also, The Feds said the New York Families were 'rat infested ' and disorganized except for the Genovese Family. Remember, The Feds know everything. LOL. Anyway, to answer your good question, Skids Caruso was a Taylor St. man running only a franchise during the 1960's in the 26th St. area. after the demise of the Taylor St. Crew, Fifi, who was already a Capo within the extended Taylor St., took over. Frank was also under his Brother Fifi. The Connections guys were run more by Frank Ferraro and The very high level Accociate, Murry Humphreys.
