This is an e-mail received from
Sidney Risinger, that states his 
comments about the Maverick Club.

Thanks for sending out the 
recent e-mails to the old Mavericks.  
I always donate money to various 
organizations such as the local 
shelters, church, etc.; however, 
I have become very lazy and 
complacent  in giving to those 
that are easy and readily available, 
instead of giving to the Club that 
made me and many others the way we 
are today.

The Maverick Club has not only 
formed us, but I like to think 
it has carried over into the way 
we have raised our own children.  
I’m sure each Maverick has modified 
their rearing of children to meet 
modern times to some extent, but 
as a whole, the basic values are 
still as they were when we grew 
up from morning until 9:00 PM 
every night.  

If the entire country had experienced 
a Mr. Dykeman (our 2nd dad) in their 
life as we did; what a wonderful world 
we would live in.  Throughout the years 
I have told so many stories about the Club 
and camp that my family can recite 
some of them word for word.  For an 
institution that has meant so much 
to me I am now terribly ashamed that 
I have not contributed more often 
than I have in the past.  I just 
want you to know that your plea has 
not gone unnoticed.


Sid Risinger lives in Edmond, Oklahoma. 

Sid is ready to go back to Maverick 
Camp and help out with the early 
camp work.
