Zav, Carmine Galante and Phil Rastelli went back to 1940s Williamsburg area. Rastelli picked Galante as acting boss since he a 1) old friend, 2) a force to be reckoned with, 3) had connections to Sicily, 4) still respected and feared by members in the family.
Chin is right, Alphonse Persico is one of two Colombo members made in the Bufalino family and transferred right back to the Colombo family in the early 1970s. Someone might know who the second one was. Jerry Angiulo in Boston was ordered by Patriarca to made another member as well for the Colombos.
I read files that claimed since Nicky Bianco left New England and was transferred to the Colombo Family that once Nicky Bianco left NY and went back to the Patriarca Family that they were then allowed to make Allie Boy to replace the lost spot held by Bianco.
