Amy Elizabeth Thorpe
From MN150

Other Nominations
I'm wanting to submit Amy Elizabeth Thorpe, code named 'Cynthia,' as Minnesota wouldn't be Minnesota without her. She also went by the name 'Betty Pac.' She was a spy during WWII. She was from Minnesota; not many people know this. Because of her they were able to break the Enigma code.
Ian Fleming also based his spy, James Bond, on her on one of her missions in the Caribbean. But of course people don't know about her. But I know quite a bit actually. Again, her name is Amy Elizabeth Thorpe, code-named Cynthia. She was a spy during WWII.
Not only would Minnesota not be Minnesota without her, but America would not be America without her.
