In order to celebrate this great improvement to our daily lives, Dondinho named me Edson, a tribute to Thomas Edison, the inventor of the lightbulb. In fact, on my birth certificate I am actually called Edison with an 'i', a mistake that persists to this day. I'm Edson with no 'i', but to my eternal annoyance quite often the 'i' appears on official or personal documents and time after time I have to explain why. As if that wasn't confusing enough, they got the date wrong on my birth certificate as well – it says 21 October. I'm not sure how this came about; probably because in Brazil we're not so fussy about accuracy. This is another mistake that carries on to this day. When I took out my first passport, the date was put in as 21 October and each time I have renewed it the date has stayed the same. 16 December - Adelaide Neri, teacher and politician.Mello Bruna Mãe de prefeita, a ex-deputada Adelaide Neri morre aos 77 anos Mother of mayor, former deputy Adelaide Neri dies at 77 https://agazetadoacre.com/2018/05/flash/mae-de-prefeita-e-ex-deputada-adelaide-neri-morre-aos-77-anos/ A Gazeta do Acre pt A Gazeta do Acre pt 24 May 2018 13 September 2022 Deaths 29 January - Pedro de Alcântara, Prince of Grão-Pará, born second-in-line to the Imperial throne of Brazil (born 1875) 6 October - Adolfo Lutz, physician and epidemiologist (born 1855) 8 November - Evandro Chagas, physician and biomedical scientist (born 1905; air crash) date unknown - Manuel F.
