Scott Westerman and Steve Schram joined a bunch of ‘Keener Originals’ in NYC. GM Frank Maruca, who was such a big part of Keener’s success couldn’t make it. So we skyped him after dinner so we could all say Hi. Here it’s Bob Green, Frank ‘Swingin’ Sweeney and Steve Schram talking with Maruca.” (All photos property of Steve Schram; Scott Westerman; Bob Green and Keener13.com 2014).WKNR 13 Bob Green:“The full group (back row): ‘Swingin’ Sweeney.
