Side note...a couple years George Anastasia met with Skinny Joey in Florida. He interviewed him. It was terrific. I sent George an email and told him he needed to write a book telling the entire Skinny Joey story. George emailed me back and thanked me for the kind words and said he was working on that book. Obviously he must not have completed it or set it to the side. Who knows what happened but I have never seen or heard anything about a Joey Merlino book since.
Funny!....Merlino meets with a notable author to tell his side of his story and nothing happens..Luciano goes to meet a Hollywood writer to tell his story and he drops dead in the process. Things have certainly changed.
