Maxine's Infamous Notes

Many of you may remember that Maxine has written down events for over fifty years. I have heard that someone (I think it was Bill's wife, Janet), asked Jean once if he would change anything about his life. The answer I was told was "I wouldn't want my wife to write everything down". Bill is the one who suggested that it would be neat to copy Maxine's notebook for the blog ~ he remembers reading the "one line" about Maxine and Jary attending Starkweather's trial. Another noteworthy "one liner" was about "OJ".

As you probably know, you need to double click on the page. It will then enlarge so you can read it.

It seems that whenever a discussion (translated "argument") occured ~ Maxine went to her notes and produced the answer ~ proving someone right or wrong.

As I have been told, Maxine wrote daily on a calendar. At the end of each year, she transferred the "important items" to her notebook. I have scanned this notebook (with Maxine & Jean's permission). Below are the pages spanning over 53 years ~ the first entry was September 26, 1951, and the last entry was January 28, 2005.

I have labelled the pages with the date of the first entry on each page. Some events are excluded from the notebook ~ two that Judy Mann and I looked for particularly were the deaths of her sister, Vivian Sherlock, and Ken Phillip. We concluded that when an event is not in the notebook, a logical explanation would be that Maxine was too upset at the time and she just forgot to write it down.

When I asked Maxine if I could scan her notebook....she possibly thought I meant that I wanted to scan over it, see what was there, and return it to her. After electronically scanning all the pages, we made sure that Maxine knew that it would be made public to the Phillip family. Enjoy!
