Happy Anniversary Keener13.com! On June 1st, 2002, Steve Schram and I launched our little labor of love. The ensuing two years have seen tremendous change in both our lives, but our dedication to the preservation of all things Keener remains constant. To our combined surprise, the site's influence has been far-reaching, with visitors logged from around the world, two keener13.com produced Dream Cruise broadcasts on the station's original 1310 frequency, and the addition of hundreds of megabytes of air checks, interviews, memories and news about our favorite 60s radio station. Keener13.com has been referenced in a forth coming book, numerous newspaper articles and is a link on over three dozen websites. We still get about 100 emails a week with questions about the announcers, the music, the popular culture and virtually every aspect of the Keener era. Since we do this in our spare time, it's easy to get behind and we apologize if we're sometimes slow to respond to your welcome feedback. In my closet are several CDs with fresh air checks, including the audio track from the "Lost" Paul Is Dead television program, more stuff from Scott Regen, Mac Owens, Dan Henderson, and a bunch of rare 60s era commercials. We're slowly digitizing them and will get everything on the site as soon as possible. People still ask us for Keener13.com bumper stickers and T-Shirts and perhaps we'll get around to a little merchandising one day. But our primary goal is to collect and share memories from a time when rock radio was being born and WKNR was number one in Detroit. So keep looking through your attics for those WKNR air checks, music guides and memories and send them our way. You'll be keeping our Keener memories fresh and sharing WKNR's particular brand of class with a new generation. Keener Lives!

Scott:
Just wanted to wish you and Steve a happy second anniversary of Keener13.com !
It's been a treat to watch it grow into such an expansive tribute to our
favorite radio station, and it's been fun being a small part of it. I'll keep seeking out new Keener air checks and mementoes to add to the archive!
Here's to many more anniversaries!
Frank
