January 15th; Nigel C. Benson... Martin Luther King jr.

In regards to notable persons listed on Wikipedia's Death in 2013 site under the month of March, 3 stand out due to having in common the birthday of January 15th, note the following:
  • Frank Polozola    (15 January 1942 – 24 February 2013) US Judge
  • Frank Thornton  (15 January 1921 – 16 March 2013) English Actor 
  • George Lowe        (15 January 1924 - 20 March 2013) British Mountaineer

so I decided to venture to Wikipedia's January 15th site (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_15), where I noted three notable persons born on January 15 had died within 18 days between Dec 13-Dec 31, 2012, note the following excerpts taken from the site:

  • Arthur Quinlan (15 January 1923 – 22 December 2012)legendary journalist
  • Maurice Herzog(15 January 1919 – 13 December 2012)French mountaineer 
  • Alasdair Liddell (15 January 1949 - 31 December 2012)British National Health Service.
That a group of three would happen twice within such a short time is remarkable.

Note these notable persons and excerpts from their wiki pages, who are listed under the birth section on the January 15th site and who stood out to me for one reason or another: 
Nigel C. Benson (born January 15, 1955) is a British author and illustrator.[1] 
Introducing Psychology (1998), an international best-seller, has been published in 20 languages in 27 countries. [6] Nigel Benson designed the original cover. 
Introducing Psychotherapy (2003), illustrated by Borin Van Loon, includes a summary of alternative/complementary therapies as well as the conventional therapies, including the talking cures of psychoanalysis, behavioural and cognitive techniques, somatic solutions, and individual and group therapies. 
Introducing Psychiatry (2004), illustrated by Piero, includes a brief history of psychiatry, what happens when someone visits a psychiatrist, a summary of the eight main categories of mental disorders, criticisms such as the Anti-Psychiatry movement, and the possible future of psychiatry.
Other writings include contributions to the three separate hard-back books:'The Healing Brain' (2002) Readers Digest'A Good Memory' (2002) Readers Digest'The Conscious and Unconscious Brain' (2002) Readers Digest
The name Nigel stood out the most given that it had just cropped up in yesterday's post entitled, Robert Castel RIIP and the 22nd Lord Forbes' RIIP ., where Lord Forbes first name is Nigel... WHICH happens to be a diminutive of "Neil" and WHICH falls under the "Neil/Neal/Kneel" pattern-cluster that has recently occurred.

Of course his surname "Benson" is meaningful given its similarity to the surname of my partner "Bennett".  As it turns out, the Behind the Name site (http://www.behindthename.com/name/benedict) notes that Benson comes from "son of Benedict" which gives this original meaning:
Benedict: From the Late Latin name Benedictus which meant "blessed".
In fact, the name Bennett ( http://surnames.behindthename.com/name/bennet) comes from Benedict as well:
English patronymic surname from the given name Bennet, which comes from BENEDICT..  
Note the following etymology of the word "ben" (http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?allowed_in_frame=0&search=ben&searchmode=none):
ben (n.) 
"mountain peak" in Celtic place names (especially of roughly pyramidal peaks standing alone), from Gaelic beinn, from Old Irish *benno- "peak, horn, conical point," from PIE root *bend-"projecting point."
If you read my previous two posts you'll note that a "mountain/hill" pattern-cluster has cropped up.

It's also interesting that Benson was a psychiatrist who wrote a book on the Conscious and Unconscious Brain.  Little does he know!!

Some other notables found on the January 15th site that stand out: 

  • Franz Seraphicus Grillparzer (15 January 1791 – 21 January 1872) was an Austrian writer who is chiefly known for his dramas. He also wrote the oration for Ludwig van Beethoven's funeral.[1]
Note, he died on my daughters Birthday
  • Charles Conrad "Chad" Lowe (born January 15, 1968)[1] is an Americanactor. He is the younger brother of actor Rob Lowe.
Note, his last name "Lowe" cropped up in another of  my posts yesterday entitled, George Lowe RIIP and A January 15 Tall Order!!.
  • Maurice Herzog (15 January 1919 – 13 December 2012)[3] was a French mountaineer and sports administrator who was born in Lyon, France
Another mountaineer... for one
  • Lisa Lisa (born Lisa Velez, January 15, 1966[1]) and her band Cult Jam...  Lisa Lisa released a solo album called LL77 in 1994,


Falls under the "Royalty/Powers that Bee"  and the " Z/Zee/zz" pattern-clusters. 

Audd that his name is Martin ... considering my previous post that mentions the name... from "God of War". He also falls under the "Royalty/Powers that Bee" pattern-cluster.  Note the etymology of his name which comes from "Leuthar" (http://www.behindthename.com/name/leuthar): 
Germanic name composed of the elements leud "people" and hari "army".
There were others that likely fit as well , butt these were the most meaningful to me.
