I agree; 1980 seems more logical; but I have two questions.

In 1980; Carmine Persico was on the streets as boss of the Colombo family; He was out on parole;

My question is; Franzese says that Tom DiBella was introduced as boss in his induction ceremony; Why would Tom DiBella be introduced as ''Boss'' when Carmine Persico was out on the streets during this time; Wouldn't have Persico overseen that ''1980 ceremony?''

My other question; What year was Andrew Russo made a captain?? Franzese was under him for sometime.
