[sm=00000036.gif] Actually Hoffa is buried in Northern Wisconsin, some say on the Grounds of the old Jack-O-Lantern Club (now an Ice Arena) in Eagle River. The club was a well known mafia underground hang out back in the days of Capone, Dillenger and others. Northern Wisconsin in general was a get away of choice for many mobsters. Hoffa and the Teamsters of course had ties to organized crime, hence the rumor of his burial there began to spread. True story, there was what clearly appeared to be the execution style murder of an Eagle River restaurant owner as recent as about 12-15 years ago. Shot in the head in the parking lot. [8|] In case it isn't clear, while the above information is indeed true, I am not suggesting that the rumer is true. But it is always a fun storry to tell guests visiting Northern Wisconsin.
