She was a great lady with a heart of gold, and such pride in America!
She always spoke highly of her sisters and family, and was never boastful about the major contribution ´The Andrews Sisters´ made to America, and especially the WW II effort to bolster the spirits of our fighting men and women.
Maxene is sorely missed by her friends and fans, but the book she wrote with Bill, ´Over Here-Over There,´ is a treat to read and love! She was excited when ´telling the memories!´ The book especially reflects wit and faith in times of great trouble for our country. The music and the stories behind the shows for the USO are inspiring!
I am happy to have known Maxene and to have been a part of her life as her director and friend! No single singing group in our history has equally the perfection and spirt of these three Greek daughters of an immigrant to America!
Maxene Andrews is a spirit that continues to brighten our torch of freedom through the music that she and her sisters sang. The stories told in this book reflect the scenes behind the scenes of keeping America smiling!
