Well, my brother doesn't even own a gun, but I know exactly how he feels. Every time we hear that use of our name, it is like fingernails on a blackboard times ten. I decided to do a little web page about my grandfather: www.realoriginalmaverick.com. Jan's article about my grandfather is fantastic- also check out the one by Rick Casey in the Houston Chronicle.

I doubt I would have ever seen it otherwise. I always find it interesting how someone's name or an unrelated word can gain a new definition due to events that occur. Personally, I thought the origin of the word was much older than 1835. Just goes to show that you learn something new every day! Thanks again! Thanks for bringing the article to my attention.
