EMAIL REGARDING DALE'S UPCOMING MEETING WITH DON

Hi Pam,

I didn't know you were a writer. What do you write?

I've been busy while Paula has been on vacation, covering her shifts as
well as
mine (21 days in a row without a day off). But she comes back on
Tuesday so
I'll get some rest then. I'm making dinner for Bruce on Wednesday
night.

Did you once tell me that you knew a Dale Sprague (Bruce's ex-business
partner)? Some people have been calling me, asking if I've seen him.
Funny
thing, may only be a coincidence, but I just found out that Uncle Don
is having
a special meeting in the back room on Monday. I think it might be this
Dale
person (Uncle Don penciled in "DS" in the notation). He wants the room
set for
6 people and no wait staff (he does this every once-in-awhile and then
Marco "acts" as the waiter). What is really weird is that he asked me
to order
a single red rose from the florist to be in a vase in the middle of the
table.
Strange, huh? I'll be here all day Monday and maybe I'll see more.

SPEC: the red rose

Something about the mention of a the red rose in Angie's email intrigued me and made me go looking. I found the following at http://www2.sunysuffolk.edu/pecorip/SCCCWEB/SS680/FUNERALS_NY_MOBSTERS.html

Quote:

First and foremost on that list, in the New York area, is St. John's Cemetery in Middle Village, Queens. Run by the Brooklyn Catholic Archdiocese, it has been referred to in literature as the "Boot Hill" of the Mob. St. John's 169 immaculately landscaped acre's hold a whole host of corpses of ignominious characters that enable the cemetery to boast being a veritable who's who of gangland. Among the notorious who call St. John's Cemetery their final resting place, Carlo Gambino, Joseph Profaci, Joe Colombo, Vito Genovese, Carmine Galante, Salvatore Maranzano, Aniello Dellacroce and Salvatore (Charlie) "Lucky" Luciano.

A visitor to the cemetery would be hard pressed to miss the prominently positioned, white stone building flanked by Grecian Columns, and denoted by the family name, Lucania.

This stately, private mausoleum houses the body of Salvatore Charles "Lucky" Luciano, one of the most infamous crime lords in history. Living up to his nickname of "Lucky", he was indeed, dying a natural death, unlike so many of his colleagues. Felled by a fatal heart attack in a Rome airport, (he had been deported to Italy in 1946) Luciano's funeral was held in Naples, his body driven through the streets in a 30-foot-long funeral coach pulled by eight black horses. It was only then, after his death, that he was allowed re-entry into the U.S., his body shipped here for entombment in St. John's Cemetery. In a tale reminiscent of the Marilyn Monroe-Joe DiMaggio affair, for many years, an unidentified woman made weekly pilgrimages to his crypt to place a single red rose.

SPEC: the red rose is an implied threat against Dale, that the Don will place it on his grave soon.
