I met Hoffa Jr. In Los Angeles. We did chat for around an hour. We discussed Labor Union matters, and did not discuss his Dad.

Dan Moldea- Wow! Dan. Your article reminded me of a book I read some 34 years ago now, "MAFIA KINGFISH: Carlos Marcello and the Assassination of John F. Kennedy" by John H. Davis.

Did you ever read it? Who knows really, but it isn't that farfetched a premise. I must see if the library has a copy and read it again.
