They did, but we all knew about it. That is...if I'm recalling my Founder's day history correctly, Vanderweele was the only known Founder until it was discovered that wasn't the case - but I don't think we "forgot" about it so much as we were misled. Even those without the application acknowledge that. It's connected, but perhaps in a different way?
