I always wondered how Billy Grasso got along with the Genovese people in that area. He went from getting run out New Haven by Midge Annunziata to being made by Patriarca and then under boss to Junior Patriarca, quite a rise. It has been written that he temporarily pushed the Genovese out of Hartford, which I have always had a hard time believing given the strength of the West Side in that area. Also, the Genovese were the most powerful family in the country and represented New England on the Commission, I don't think that they would let it slide if someone was pushing their people around.

Was Midge Annunziata with the Springfield crew or was he on his own in New Haven?
