I don´t know, probably not. If Anastasia had a crew before being upped to underboss in 1931, it probably went to his brother Tony. Rava wasn´t made until much later. I would guess Rava inherited somebody else´s crew or was given soldiers from different crews who were put under him later in the 1950s. His crew consisted of soldiers based throughout Brooklyn and lower Manhattan. He was Dyker Heights based.


You are absolutlly right,he would be really young at the time Albert was upt.And his crew would go to his bro.Read online that he resided on Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn where he owned the New Corners restaurant,dont know if that is true or not.Tell me HK why do you say he was Dyker Heights based?Did he have a club there or lived there..?
