I guess I can’t get too worked up about this, after thinking about it. Seems to me there are two possibilities:

1. The Bertha E. Lewis is the ACORN Bertha Lewis, but the middle initial was misread, it was an M. that kinda looked like an E. Okay, big deal.

2. The Bertha E. Lewis is, in fact, a totally different person. Okay, so what?

If it’s the first, it would be kind of cool if Bertha Lewis stood up and said, “Yeah, that was me. What’s your point? That even though I’m an American citizen just like all of you, I shouldn’t go to what you folks always refer to as ‘the people’s house’? Really?”

If it’s the second, it would be really cool if that Bertha Lewis stood up and said something like, “I was the Bertha Lewis who went on the tour. I’m Bertha Lewis from St. Louis. Hey! If you’re ever in St. Louis, please drop by Bertha Lewis’s Cakes, Candies, and Confections - conveniently located on Beale Street. We have the finest cakes, pies, and tasty home-made candies on either side of the Mississippi!”

(I’m actually hoping for option 2 - ‘cause I loves me them tasty home-made candies!)
