Then Lucy can use the same portrait for her report on Beethoven…
Beethoven’s birth year (1770) is exactly halfway between 1732 and 1809. More precisely, the midpoint between Washington’s and Lincoln’s birthdays is the 7th of August in 1770. Maybe this is the real birthday of Beethoven, and his family just postponed his baptism until December 17th for some reason?
