Hello Everybody,
Wanted to check in to see how everyone was doing. I am going to Fulton NY to run the Century Marathon October 10th,THEN running the City of Oaks Marathon November 7th. What am I thinking!?! I am as ready as I will ever be. What races are you running? What is going on in your life?
Rick Roebuck competed in a Triathlon last weekend in Atlanta! How did you do? How big was the race?
This year I have been lucky enough to train with Steve Nolan and Bob “Bibby” Moore. They have kept me going. I just hang back let them set the pace and listen to them talk. Then the run is over. Thanks guys!
I want to Thank everyone for their support. Especially my wife Julie, without her I would not have started Team Dykeman.
Please respond and let us know what you are up to.
Remember I am not a Marine, I run for one!
Always Faithful,
Cousin Andrew Bateman

Patrick along with 125 other kids swam, biked and ran in an event meant to engage kids in outdoor activities. Patrick participated in the 9-11 yr old category where they had to swim 2 laps of the pool, tranistion to their bikes for a 3.5 mile ride and then run .75 miles.

I live in Raleigh, North Carolina, I will probably live here the rest of my life. But when anyone asks where I am from, I reply proudly that I am from Central New York. My Father Graduated from Syracuse in 1949. Canʼt wait for Basketball season. We travel home every year to our family’s camp on Chase Lake in the Adirondacks. I have family all over Central New York. People from this area are some of the best people in the world. I have always known it, but the respect shown by the patriotic people of this area the day of Captain Philʼs funeral, was awesome.
Below please read the letter of thanks sent by Master Chief Petty Officer Arthur Dykeman, US Navy, Captain Philʼs older brother, to the Post Standard. We chose the Paul V. Moore High School scholarship fund as a tribute to Captain Phil and the people of Central New York. It is our hope that not only will Phil’s children benefit from this scholarship but also others from this great area. Read the rest of this entry »

Mrs. Cynthia Crouch has been instrumental in helping us set up the scholarship. Many Thanks to her. She also is spreading the word. this went out to the staff of Paul V. Moore High School. Mrs. Crouch is a Guidance Counselor at the school, and was for all three Dykeman children. She has really been great to work with.
“Andrew
I put out your email to all of the our staff and have heard back from a couple of staff members that they needed kleenex after reading. You really worded this so well, Andrew. Having said that, one of the staff asked if you had placed this in the Citizen Outlet and/or the Syracuse Post Standard (Oswego edition) newspaper and thought I might give you a heads up on that as there could be people who knew Philip (in class or school or community) that might want to contribute. Hope this helps. Cindy”
So let’s get the ball rolling… I know these are tough times… but we need every bodies help to kick-start the scholarship fund. For information on making a donation click here… http://teamdykeman.wordpress.com/about/
Always faithful,
Andrew

Phil at work in Anbar
As many of you know, my friend and cousin, Captain Philip J. Dykeman USMC was killed in Iraq June 26, 2008.
Phil died at the young age of 38 leaving behind his wife of almost 10 years, 3 children – Austin, 9; Emilee, 6 and Ashlee, 6 – and an extended family stretching across the country that miss him dearly with every passing day. ‘Captain Phil’, as his troops called him, served as a Marine for 17 years. His service took him to over 20 countries across the world. Captain Philip Dykeman gave his life for our Country and now it is time to give back.
I would like to officially announce that I am running the “City of Oaks” Marathon in Raleigh, North Carolina, Sunday November 2, 2008 in honor of Capt. Philip Dykeman’s life and service to the United States of America . My training consists of both short and long runs throughout the week (my longest run was 20 miles last Sunday). Every time my feet hit the ground, I think of Phil and I am able to run just a little bit faster and just a little bit farther. He is my inspiration.
My tremendous love and respect for my cousin has moved me to action – to help support his family and carry on his name. I have established a scholarship – The Captain Philip J. Dykeman Memorial Scholarshipthrough Paul V. Moore High School – Phil’s alma mater in Central Square, NY. Phil’s three children will follow in his footsteps there and will benefit from this fund upon their graduation. In addition to Phil’s children, each year, a recipient will be chosen from the high school to benefit from the scholarship. My goal is to ensure that Captain Philip J. Dykeman’s name carries on forever.
