Kevin Weeks is an Irish-American former mobster and longtime friend and mob lieutenant to Whitey Bulger, the infamous boss of the Winter Hill Gang, a crime family based in the Winter Hill neighborhood in Somerville, Massachusetts. Kevin Weeks was born in South Boston, Massachusetts on March 21, 1956, to a working-class family of Irish and Welsh descent. He was the fifth child in a family of six and grew up in the Old Colony Housing Project at 8 Pilsudski Way, apartment 554. His father, John Weeks Sr., originally hailed from Brooklyn, New York. He changed tires for a living and later obtained a position with the Boston Housing Authority. John Sr. was a WWII veteran and had served in the infantry; he also had fought as a professional middleweight boxer (this may be incorrect as no record of him exists in BoxRec). When he was 26, he married Margaret, who was from Boston. A full-time homemaker, she suffered from severe arthritis and went about the family's tenement on crutches. Throughout high school, Weeks was involved in extra-curricular activities. When he wasn't boxing, he was on a team traveling to swim meets all over New England. His memoirs vividly describe how the busing controversy transformed the previously comparatively peaceful South Boston high schools into hotbeds of gang warfare. Weeks was released from Federal prison in early 2005. He collaborated with journalist Phyllis Karas (of People magazine). Weeks's account of his life with Bulger and Flemmi was published in March 2006. He was a star witness at Connolly's 2008 trial on state charges of murdering former World Jai Alai president John Callahan, as well as at Bulger's 2013 trial on racketeering charges two years after Bulger was finally captured. At the latter trial, Bulger lost his composure when Weeks called him a rat and the two former compatriots almost came to blows. #whiteybulger #whitey #jamesbulger #jimmybulger #blackmass #johnnydepp #kevinweekes #winterhill #winterhillgang #bostonmafia #irishmob🍀 #irishmafia #irishcarbombs #southie #southend #boston #freddiegeas #riflemanflemmi #fbi #informant https://www.instagram.com/p/CRAt6NuFpU5/?utm_medium=tumblr

New Post has been published on https://www.madpicks.com/sports/nhl/penguins-fan-knits-games-inspiration-us/

Penguins fan who knits at games is an inspiration to us all

Fans watching Game 5 of the Stanley Cup playoffs between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals may have noticed this lovely lady knitting behind the glass.

https://twitter.com/KevinWeekes/status/861019810255261696

Kevin Weekes, a former NHL goalie-turned reporter, tried to come for her, but Pens Knitting Lady clapped back.

https://twitter.com/PensKnittngLady/status/861022868792127489

The Penguins won that final, by the way. You could say she’s a good luck charm.

While some people questioned how she got her needles past security (they’re the size of a ballpoint pen and “about as sharp,” she tweeted) Knitting Lady, also known by her real name, Michelle, received a lot of support on Twitter; even this poem.

https://twitter.com/knotsalot/status/861042341846675460

She took questions, explaining that she knits for stress relief. Her project of choice? Socks, because they’re so portable.

Michelle, who lives in Maryland, has been doing this for some time (as you can see by her tweet). In a 2010 interview, she explained the knitting allows her to enjoy the game more, and doesn’t diminish her focus. She used to get so angry over bad plays and calls by the refs that it would put her in a bad mood, her husband, Mike, explained. With the knitting, she’s able to focus.

In the video, she’s watching the game intently, and doesn’t even need to look at her knitting!

You go, Pens Knitting Lady!
