I know of a Kermit Weeks. He was an aerobatic competitor of some note. Won a few championships as I recall. He also owns the Fantasy of Flight museum in Lakeland, Florida. May not be the K.M. you are referring to.

Kermit Weeks was a big time real estate investor in FL that owned allot of WII aircraft.
Sadly he was killed at the Reno air aces in a P51 that came apart on the course during a race due to a tail trim tab failure on the elevator that caused the aircraft to pitch up at very high G's which blacked him out and he lost control and over stressed the aircraft.
He was a colorful and good guy good pilot...RIP
Uhh, Mike.. that was Jimmy Leeward..

Oh hell , now I'm confused :rolleyes:

Probably not the guy the OP is referring to but you other guys are talking about the Kermit that is related to the Upjohn Pharmacuticals clan in Kalamazoo $$$$ and collects some rare aircraft.
