Scrolling through a recent auction listing from the Netherlands (from sell-3d), I was surprised to see a listing for a Chicago Hot Dog Stands View-Master reel among the many, many 3d related items. While I don't think there is any Netherlands connection, I was curious. 

After a little searching, I found this website for Wurlington Press
https://wurlington-bros.com/VM/index.html
This View-Master reel and other Chicago related reels are listed.

Does anyone know Matt Bergstrom or any related background?   

Here is the original posting for the auction on sell-3d

During one of the 3D-Con happy hours in Gather.town, David Starkman went and got his Chicago Stereo Camera Club tie pin to show to me.

t has the CSCC logo still in use today as seen on the CSCC website. http://www.chicagostereocameraclub.org/
I took a couple of screenshots as he showed it to his webcam...

Does anyone else in the club have these?

All this said, I believe Magix Movie Edit Pro is a decent viable alternative. It handles stereo adjustment and is good for those on a budget. We'll be running a workshop at 3D-Con on Saturday 8/14 at 12:30pm ET with Greg Perez. Perhaps there can be a discussion afterwards in the gather.town speakers lounge about other software Pluses and Minuses. And/or maybe someone might want to put together a Google Doc of current movie editing programs that support Stereo? And the doc would be open for people to update it, add their experiences, diff software etc. I'd love to do it but am swamped with all other preparation for 3D-Con. (And if you haven't registered, do it now! https://www.3d-con.com/registration.php )
