Bert Stern RIIP: Nautical Theme

The Deaths in 2013 site lists under June 26th:
Bert Stern, 83, American celebrity photographer (Marilyn Monroe at The Last Sitting) and documentary maker (Jazz on a Summer's Day)
It was his surname that stood out, and before you can begin to understand why, you'll have to read the following excerpt from my previous post , Mark Fisher RIIP: Fishing in the Park
The death of Harry Parker as per my previous post, was influenced by his inner twin in order to generate "pattern-clusters" that serve as a means of revealing themselves as well as to communicate.   Via deaths of certain notable persons, the inner twin world tapped into the recent flood in Calgary where miles of "parkland" became inundated by the Elbow river.  As per the post, Harry Parker and his wife were Olympic "rower's" which also factor into the "Water Way" pattern-cluster theme... and note as well, Harry's wife's maiden name was Keeler which contains the word "Keel", another addition to the pattern- cluster.  The same is true with Mark's surname "Fisher"... after all, fish live in water ways of the world.
The surname "Stern" obviously falls into the "Water Way" pattern-cluster theme occurring among notable persons recently added to Wikipedia's Deaths in 2013 site.  Note the following definitions:
Keel1. Nautical a. The principal structural member of a ship, running lengthwise along the center line from bow to stern, to which the frames are attached.b. A ship.
stern 2 : 1. Nautical The rear part of a ship or boat.
Note the etymology:
stern (n.) Look up stern at Dictionary.comc.1300, "hind part of a ship, steering gear of a ship," probably from Old Norse stjorn "a steering," related to styra "to guide" (see steer (v.)). Or the word may come from Old Frisian stiarne "rudder," which is also related to steer (v.). 
Keep in mind that the Elbow flows into the Bow River ... and note this definition of "bow":
 bow 1  (bou)n. Nautical1. The front section of a ship or boat.
So the theme has expanded into a "Water Way/Nautical" pattern-cluster.  Many of the words have "other" meanings and there's no doubt in my mind that these factor into the communication as well.
