She was my hairdresser, there in Howard, while I was in high school, during the 1960's.  She is also Vicki (Miller) Burdett's mother-in-law.  It is interesting to note that Maxine's husband passed away only about a week ago.

Sam and Maxine lived in Elgin for several years, too.  They were fun people to be around.  They lived at the end of Main Street on the very west end of town.
