The Brotherhood’s first breakfast program of the season promises to be both unique and engaging. Featured speakers Rich Teahan and Bob Ward of Boston 25 News will discuss their book, Face to Face with Whitey Bulger, offering a behind-the-scenes look at one of the most significant fugitive investigations in FBI history.
Rich Teahan, a retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent, led the Whitey Bulger Task Force and was instrumental in the successful capture of the notorious Boston mob boss after a 16-year international manhunt. He also conducted the only law enforcement interview Bulger ever granted, providing unique insight into one of America’s most infamous criminals. Throughout his career, Teahan specialized in complex criminal investigations and global fugitive apprehensions and has appeared on numerous national and international news programs discussing the Bulger case.
Joining him will be Bob Ward, an award-winning investigative journalist with Boston 25 News. Over a career spanning four decades, Ward has covered some of New England’s most significant criminal and public interest stories and has appeared on numerous national television programs and podcasts.
This special presentation offers a departure from our traditional programming and is expected to generate significant interest among both congregants and members of the broader community.
The event is open to the public, and members are encouraged to invite friends and guests. Attendees will enjoy the Brotherhood’s customary breakfast spread.
Registration is strongly encouraged so that we can ensure an appropriate amount of food is prepared and available for all attendees.
