    [Note: the capital 'D' in Dismissed would indicate a new sentence, i.e., this is a record of admission with the dismissal appended 9 years later. Hence, for clarity, Anderson's focus on "under her maiden name" reflects not that this is the name she had when dismissed, but the name she had when she was admitted, and hence, where the dismissal is found.]
