Slipstream - February 2013

Member Spotlight: Rick and Becky Robinson
By Lisa Steele, National Membership Chair
This month’s
member
spotlight is
on Rick and Becky
Robinson. This
wonderful couple
is not new to our
Maverick family as
they have become quite active over
the past two years. Rick and Becky
own a 2008 Speed Yellow Carrera
4S and a 2007 Cayman respectively.
This couple has definitely owned
their fair share of sports cars over
the years, having a few BMWs,
Becky’s love of convertibles, and a
‘96 300ZX TT that was number 246
of the last run of 300. Once you
get to know Rick, you will quickly
learn that he also LOVES his Prius.
It is his daily commuter and his
third one in four years. Hopefully,
it has great gas mileage because
Rick works in Plano and lives out
in the country on six acres outside
Trenton, 45 miles NE of Dallas.
Rick and Becky have been together
for 12 years, and have four
children and two grandchildren.
They have been empty nesters now
for about four years and they are
absolutely LOVING IT, according
to Rick. Becky works in accounting
for an international company, and
Rick has been a self- employed
commercial general contractor for
about 30 years. You won’t catch
these two at home much these
days because they are also avid
motorcycle riders. They recently
traveled to New Orleans, along
the coast into Florida, up into the
mid-section and across Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana, and back
to Texas. Wow! What a ride!
It is wonderful to see Rick and
Becky becoming so involved
with our Maverick family. You
will always see this pair helping
out at any event they attend.
Rick shared a few kind words
of thanks to the volunteers:
“You’ve heard it from us before,
but we would both really love to
have it said that we are in awe, and
humbled by the level of dedication,
energy, and effort that is put into
the club by all those who volunteer
their time, just so we can have such
a great time doing all of these wonderful
things. A huge thank you
to all of those who work so hard
making it all possible. A special
thank you to all those who make
our newest passion, Drivers’ Education,
possible. Thank you to corner
workers, support staff, instructors
and all those give up their valuable
time to make it safe, educational
and an absolute blast of an event.”
