Nora Guthrie: On Woody and Huntington's disease

In her introduction to the new Woody Guthrie Center in Tulsa, Nora Guthrie, the singer-songwriter's daughter and president of the Woody Guthrie Foundation, talked about the illness that ravaged her father's life and her mother's effort to find a cure.

Huntington’s is such a devastating disease there’s no cure. Hopefully one day they will find a way to prolong or even find a cure. Thanks Nora

I wish more people would be interested in Woody, his life, his disease, his family, his music. They are all fascinating topics.

Very much so! Woody Guthrie was just I don’t know. I guess I don’t have words there’s really no words for him.
Except to say, we could use him today ! We sure as hell could use him today😢
Can you imagine what he would think of our country today? 😢😢😢😮

We adopted a baby who is at risk for HD so I have heard so much about your mother. She is a blessing to all of who we're transpersonal the void of HD information. I was thrilled when the test became reality! Our child wasn't eligible for it because a person had to be 21 or older and of sound mind and/or symptomatic. Your Mom really lit the fire under the scientific community. 🥰

It seems like we lost part of this great talk! I am looking for it in the channel, but I don’t know, maybe it all went ka-plunk

Well, we now know where Arlo got that hair!

[@normajean551]

From his sister?

[@gailb703]

Nora is Arlo's sister, and all of them had curly hair, probably from their father, Woody!

[@fryavanbosh3563]

The mother of arlo cunthrie has the same hair.
