Phil Maxwell, who is well known as the director of the annual Chicago and Music Festival, was the guest speaker at the meeting of the Lansing Woman’s Club held on Monday.  He gave personality sketches of Carrie Jacobs Bond and John T. McCutcheon, both of whom have been honored at Music festivals in the past. He also gave a travel talk on a recent trip to Guatemala, stressing the friendly, cordial manner in which he was received by the people there. Maxwell was born in Greencastle, Indiana and is still a “Hoosier” at heart as indicated by his love of songs and stories of Indiana. - kbz
