Joan Mitchell, 2011: p. 435 (Joan's birth certificate fixes her date of birth as 12 February 1925; many reference materials incorrectly state that she was born in 1926; according to the Mitchell family, this error stems from Joan's fudging her year of birth in order to compete in a skating event in an age category lower than her own; Joan sometimes used 1925 as her birth year; other times, she used 1926) Wikipedia WWW site, Aug. 16, 2012 (Joan Mitchell; b.
