I never knew Marjorie Guthrie but I did get to meet her once. In that brief meeting it seemed obvious to me that she was not the sort of woman to fall for a man who wasn't as educated and sophisticated as she was. That thought helped me better understand the dichotomy between Woody the man and Woody the persona. He was, by all accounts, a man of excesses and driven to follow his own muse wherever it led. Still, he must have been a man of great intellect and energy on a personal level as well as a public level.
