The 71-year-olds all resurfaced at some event, looking groovy.
In 1970, Peter Yarrow (right) was convicted for taking "immoral and improper liberties" with a 14-year-old fan. President Carter later granted him clemency.
Despite his liberal political views, Paul Stookey (left) has been very involved with the Christian music scene.
In 2005, Mary Travers was diagnosed with leukemia but is doing well.

Plus, is it just me or does it look like Paul and Pete Townshend were separated at birth?

I love them and miss their performing. Glad to see Mary is doing well despite the leukemia. My children and I love Paul's music and sense of humor. Peter keeps hanging in there. Wish they'd do a PBS or A&E or some kind of retro look back at what they have done with them appearing as they are now. Even if they are unable to sing as well I think people would love it. I saw something a few years abck like that. We need an upsdate! Love you ,Guys and Mary, too!

Have to agree with Eddie. That's Pete Townshend on the left - and he's only in his early 60s. So it's Pete, Mary and Peter?

Mary isn't doing well enough to keep her concert dates, unfortunately. Read the statement below sent from the venue to ticket holders.

Due to the lingering effects of her treatment for cancer, Mary Travers will be unable to perform at Wolf Trap this summer. However, Peter and Noel Paul will perform for the Trioâs loyal audience in tribute to their nearly 50-year collaboration and dear friendship with Mary.
Original Peter, Paul & Mary tickets will be honored for this performance by Peter & Noel Paul.
Ticket holders who wish to receive a refund should mail their tickets to:

They were awesome and LOVED the song, "The answer my friend is blowing in the wind." They are what America is all about there talent and there style has never been duplicated by anyone. God Bless Mary and her fight with cancer.
