  • A near-duplicate TAH record exists in the vault as Amenda Wu (same Bay Area geography, UC Davis music study, San Francisco Symphony donor-relations role, UC Berkeley Symphony Orchestra membership); the companion work record [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/322-amenda-wu-201503|TAH #322 Amenda Wu (2015/03)]] carries the same publication date. Likely a spelling-variant duplicate entry — held pending owner verification, not merged.
