Before Appalachian, the bosses could meet freely with one another. Afterwards, they tried to meet in secret, with the exception of bosses knowing each other for decades and still meeting in public. Examples of bosses meeting in public are Tony Corallo meeting with Tony Salerno at Salernos club every couple of weeks. Joe Bonanno and Joe Profaci meeting in New Jersey and Brooklyn once a week, westcoast Joe Cerrito and Jimmy Lanza meeting in Santa Clara on the weekends. One on one they could still meet freely, but when there was three or more bosses from different families, they tried to keep it secret.
