I met Andy Lococo, when I was very young,at the Cockatoo Inn.My Dad was a self -employed C.P.A-Certified Public accountant .My dad and mother took me out to lunch ,to eat at Cockatoo Inn. So we walked in to bar area ,where they had great lunch specials,near the bar area there was man standing like a bouncer by staircase ,going up to some rooms.then my Dad called him over to our table where my Dad introduced me to Owner Andy Lococo and I shook his hand,that was that.After we got outside in the car ,my Dad told me more about him. My dad knew a mob figure. Of coarse, I  did not know ,what to think. Andy Lococo did not seem to me like a bad guy,just like in those mafia movies or figures,they are like that today. I did not think much about it till I heard and read in newspaper ,that he was going to put in jail for bribery charge and fixing a horse race. I did not know that John F.Kennedy and Robert Kennedy stayed at the Cockatoo Inn. 

Many people stayed at the Cockatoo Inn. In the late 1960 and early 1970’s the hotel was popular among underworld figures.The hotel hosted U.S President,A- list movie stars and entertainers,the Mafia.
