Does the fact that the article is dated April 1 make one think that maybe this is an April Fool's joke?

Yes, precisely. Maybe it is. And maybe it is not.

There have indeed been other interesting recent revelations in the Hoffa removal recently, so it's possible. Am I suspicious, given the 01 April dateline? You bet. And moreso in that I've not found anything related in any or the Detroit, Indiana, Memphis or metro newspapers in the area where the find was reportedly made, nor on any of the wire services. So I've e-mailed a couple of reporters who've filed Hoffa story updates over the years, with the caveat that it could easily be a April Fool's Day spoof. But if your mother says she loves you, check it out.

...and UAW Local 108 membership card...
Uhhhh, Hoffa was a Teamster - Not UAW.

Entertainment Score = 9 1/2. :)

UAW Local 108 is a Wisconsin housewares manufacturing plant local. Though union officials have long been *sheep-dipped* through other organizations and locals as a means of providing them W2 documentation to keep the federal tax people off their backs. My dad was a Musicians Union secretary-treasurer, and bitterly resented the practice that looted the funds available for his own membership, just one of the little problems to be found in his union's financial stewardship.
