Even though Robert Day's name and birthday are meaningful, it's Dora May Broadbent's name and date of death that's even more poignant given that my mother passed away 2weeks ago on July 23... the same day!!

The following information regarding Film cast and crew of The Men of Sherwood Forest:

  • David King-Wood (12 September 1913 – 3 September 2003)

  • Ballard Berkeley (born Ballard Blascheck; 6 August 1903 – 16 January 1988)
Note this excerpt from The Men of Sherwood Forest:
Particularly meaningful given the surname "Greene", definitely a "Green Theme" pattern-cluster in the works.   Note from Richard Greene's wiki page:
Richard Marius Joseph Greene (25 August 1918 – 1 June 1985)
His birthday is an addition to the targeting family birthdays given that my granddaughter's birthday is August 25th.  And note as well, my granddaughters middle name is "Greenlee".
