When I spoke to Margaret last night, she still hadn't seen the article. She and John and the piled-high van were due to leave for Arizona this morning. I emailed her the link, but chances are she had other things on her mind than checking for messages.

Margaret proved to be such a fascinating subject that when the photographer visited her in Marlboro, Vermont, he shot pictures from 9am until 5pm. The two photographs in Smithsonian are absolute gems. The one of Margaret with the instruments hanging on the wall behind her almost looks like an oil painting of a "high toned" folksinger lady!
