The guilty plea today was from
Robert M. Wurzelbacher Jr., who had been a senior vice president of Lincoln's parent company, the American Continental Corporation of Phoenix, and the chief executive of an investment firm owned by Lincoln Savings. Mr. Wurzelbacher, who is 38 years old, is married to the former Elizabeth Keating, one of Mr. Keating's daughters.

If Junior was 37/38 in 1991, then he was born in 1953/54.
If the elder Mr. W. is currently 83, then he was born 1925/26, just about the right age to be Senior to the Keating SIL's Junior.
Not necessarily off topic, but I will tell you from first-hand experience that people who worked for/with or benefited from associations with Charlie Keating were paid to be very, very, very loyal. Many of the young loan officers who worked for Lincoln Savings in Phoenix were fresh out of college and were paid double what their counterparts at other banks were paid. When Keating fell, they remained loyal. They defended him to their last moments at Lincoln Savings.
I worked there for almost a year in 1991-92 after Resolution Trust took over. I worked with a lot of the hold-overs from Lincoln/American Continental. The man who destroyed the company and ultimately put these people on the street was NEVER criticized by them. NEVER. He paid them very handsomely. He installed free vending machines in the break room. He brought in free pizza on Fridays so there was enough left over to take home and feed the family.
A friend, ZC, who was active in Jazz in AZ would never hear a word against Keating because he donated heavily to the organization and supported local musicians. Never mind that one of ZC's friends ended up bilked out of a life savings by Lincoln; ZC defended Keating up one side and down the other.
He bought loyalty, but most of those so bought stayed bought, apparently to this day.
