07 May 99 - 12:51 PM (#76405) Subject: RE: Leadbelly and Bart Simpson From: Pete Peterson Leadbelly-- ALS Woody Guthrie-- Huntingdon's Chorea they both take a long time, are diseases of the nervous system, and are v unpleasant, but are two very different things. Huntingdon (ton?) is primaririly hereditary, but it doesn't get you till AFTER you've had kids so we can't count on Mother Nature to be selfcorrecting here. Another 25 years and we'll have DNA repair Please, everybody, try to live a long time! (and isn't our Catspaw news wonderful!?) |

10 May 99 - 04:12 AM (#77136) Subject: RE: Leadbelly and Bart Simpson From: Steve Parkes There is a test for Huntington's now: I believe it can differentiate between whether you have it or are carrying it. Susan, there are more than a few people I would gladly let out of my jail free if they wouldn't stop singing! Steve |

28 Dec 03 - 11:05 AM (#1080928) Subject: RE: Leadbelly and Bart Simpson From: Suffet Yes, there is a test for Huntington's disease. All three of Woody's surviving children (Arlo Davy, Nora Lee, and Joady Ben) have been tested and have been found to be free of the disease. Two of Woody's other eight children, Gwendolyn and Susan, have already died from Huntington's. Woody's other three children perished from other causes, Cathy Ann in an apartment fire, Bill Rogers in a traffic accident, and Lorina Lynn also in a traffic accident. There was some suspicion that Bill Rogers Guthrie's death was a suicide, but there was insufficient evidence to confirm that suspicion. Bill died when his car collided with a train soon after he visited his dad in the hospital for the first time and saw Woody's hapless and hopeless condition. --- Steve |

29 Dec 03 - 05:22 PM (#1081809) Subject: RE: Leadbelly and Bart Simpson From: Stilly River Sage Then Sly is the image of Madam Bartholdi. Liberty Enlightening the World is based on the sculptor's mother. |
