Suze seemed to me to be a very balanced, intelligent, artistic person when I met her briefly at the New York Folklore Society conference a couple of years ago, where she was the keynote speaker. As a longtime Dylan fan (I had hitchhiked from Manchester to London over the Easter weekend in the early 60s to get to Dylan's solo Royal Festival Hall concert) I was very glad that I was there, and enjoyed her talk. Not that she gave us any great revelations - but she was definitely her own person at the time, doing her own thing, and from all I heard, and hear, doing it very well. I am sorry for her passing. She was not one who looked close to death.
