Anna Canoni, granddaughter of Woody and Marjorie Guthrie, spoke at the 2018 HDSA Annual 
Convention in Los Angeles CA last June. Woody had Huntington’s disease (HD). Anna’s a great speaker and I was inspired by her talk about her grandmother, Marjorie Guthrie who is on my hero list. HD is a brain disease that is like having ALS, Parkinson’s and Alzheimers at the same time. There is NO CURE.

I first met Anna last summer when John and I were on a Midwest book tour promoting my nonfiction book Watching Their Dance. We attended the Woody Guthrie Folk Festival in Okemah Oklahoma and some of the Guthrie family were there. I spoke with Anna and she purchased a copy of my book.
