Six...Is it possible your mother knows of his son Arlo?
Woody and his wife certainly raised a fine son with a big heart. Arlo has made some timeless musical contributions to the world. He has also done a lot to help others. It is not mentioned in the blurb below, but he also helped to raise funds for victims of Hurricane Katrina and Rita. I love Arlo.
In 1991 Arlo purchased the old Trinity Church. It was Thanksgiving 1965 that events took place at the church which inspired Arlo to write the song "Alice's Restaurant". Named for his parents, The Guthrie Center is a not-for-profit interfaith church foundation dedicated to providing a wide range of local and international services. Its outreach programs include everything from providing HIV/AIDS services to baking cookies with a local service organization; an HD walk-a-thon to raise awareness and money for a cure for Huntington's Disease, and offering a place simply to meditate. The Guthrie Foundation is a separate not-for-profit educational organization that addresses issues such as the environment, health care, cultural preservation and educational exchange.
