Although the books were closed, in the early 1970s, the five Families were allowed to each make a couple of new guys. Tommy Gambino, Alphonse Persico, Chubby Rosillo, Patsy Genese, Vincent Cafaro and a few others were made at that time. When the books were reopened in early 1976, the Five Families each made 10 new guys in the first bash. Later in 1976, the Families made additional guys. The year of the most new recruits was 1977. Guys were also made in 1978 and 1979 before the books were closed. Throughout 1976 and 1979, the Genovese Family made close to 100 new guys, the Gambinos around 80, the Luccheses and Bonannos around 50-70. The Colombo Family inducted perhaps the smallest amount of new recruits, around 50.
