Agreed. He made a lot of guys before and during the CW. He was the first to make non-Sicilians like Frankie Yale (who's crew was a family in and of itself), Frank Castello and even Al Capone, who he allegedly made a capodecina with the authority to induct 10 men over in Chicago. So Joe the Boss had men all over the country.
