Mike's cousin Frank Borrelli came home to NY from FL. for a High School Class Reunion. Mike and Frank reminisce about growing up In Endicott, NY. Endicott was the birthplace of IBM and was the location of Endicott Johnson Shoe Company. IBM employed roughly 60K people in its heydays. Endicott Johnson Shoe Company employed roughly 40K employees. Endicott was also the home of members of the most notorious Mafia Family in US history. Members of the famed 1957 Gang Land Convention raid in Apalachin, NY. When Mike and Frank were growing up their families were all hard-working tax paying factory workers. They reminisce about how international business employees coexisted in a community that had Mafia influences throughout. They owned the major Canada -Dry Soda Company most of the deli's, grocery stores, car lots and almost every small business in town. Yet Mike and Frank grew up knowing but completely unaffected by those influences. Endicott was truly a melting pot of people and businesses.
