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.


Russo was made in early 1976 in the first ceremony the Colombos held after the books were opened. Promoted to captain I think in '77
