Michael, I have reached out several times to see if you knew my dad back in the early 70's. His name was Murray Silverstein and he was the President of the Sheet Metal workers union in NY and NJ. I know he worked with Carmine's people and sadly, he died of a heart attack in 76. I know about connections ( i would hear names like Allie boy, Junior, etc) and Carmine even attended my sisters wedding (she still has the card). I just wanted to know if you knew him or ever met him. Thanks and love your channel !

@@easlgaming6734 that's not his story and it's not even all that realistic for Barry Seal either... Our old house overlooked the Mena airport, it was built by Barry Seals aircraft mechanic and after Barry was killed he couldn't afford the house anymore so I know a little bit there.

Roger's book is absolutely amazing. I bought the audio book, and it's 20+ hrs of pure adventure. I laughed, and a few times, I was on the verge of tears. The most wonderful part is that it is read by Roger himself. Story's of a pilot, train engineer, bootlegger, and Man of God are still told here in south G.a. Godspeed Roger Reaves.
