TULSA, Okla. (AP) – Daniel Keating, a businessman who served on the Oklahoma Board of Education and was the twin brother of former Oklahoma Gov. Frank Keating, has died. He was 74.
Daniel Keating’s son, Matthew Keating, told The Associated Press on Sunday that his father died Saturday in Tulsa. He said that education was very important to his father.
