Greetings,

If the rumor was about Huntington's disease, implicitly or explicitly, it is FALSE. I heard Nora Guthrie give a talk in which she said that she and her two surviving brothers, Arlo and Joady, are all negative for the deadly gene. It's a matter of record that two other of Woody Guthrie's children, Gwendolyn and Susan, have already died of Huntington's. Woody's three other children, Cathy Ann, Bill, and Lorina Lynn, all perished in accidents when they were too young for the symptoms to have appeared.

I remember reading years ago, that he would not want to be tested. That it was a fait accompli either way and not much to be done about it if he did carry the gene.

It seems too personal and none of our business. Nevertheless, it has come up before, so, if you will go read this thread, I believe you will find some answers: click here.

Has Arlo Guthrie ever taken the dna test to see if he has huntingtons disease? Was any one else affected by it besides Woody.
