Harry Gallatin RIIP: Hairy Horse Nicks Nick-Names

The Deaths in 2015 site lists under October 7:

• Harry Gallatin, 88, American Hall of Fame basketball player (New York Knicks)

Note from his wiki page: 

• Harry Junior "The Horse" Gallatin (April 26, 1927 – October 7, 2015) 

Now THATS an unusual nick name!!  The "Knicks" has a silent K, and so what immediately comes to mind is "nicknames"... a possible cryptic lead/connection.  So I'll be paying attention to nicknames during this investigation.

On the Gallatin (surname) wiki page, he's one of four notable persons listed with the unusual surname, these are the other three:

• Albert Gallatin (1761-1849), Swiss-American ethnologist, linguist, politician, founder of New York University, diplomat, and United States Secretary of the Treasury
• Albert Eugene Gallatin (1881-1952), New York art collector, author, and artist; great-grandson of Albert Gallatin
• James Gallatin (1796-1876), president of Gallatin National Bank, son of Albert Gallatin

Note from their respective wiki pages:

• Abraham Alfonse Albert Gallatin (January 29, 1761 – August 12, 1849)
• Albert Eugene Gallatin (July 23, 1881 - June 15, 1952)
• James Gallatin (December 18, 1796 - May 29, 1876) 

Two of the dates stand out: Alberts birthday is an addition to the "Targeting Family Deaths" pattern-cluster given that July 23 is the day my mother passed away just over 2 months ago, and December 18 is an addition to the "Targeting Family Birthdays" pattern-cluster given that this is my older sisters birthday.   I consider this a prompt to continue on.

His nickname combined with his first name give us a cryptic phrase re "hairy horse".  What this reminds me of is an area of study that I've given much time to: the evolution of the modern horse from the only known wild horse left today, the Przewalski's horse, and even though this little horse gets a hairy coat during winter, it's mane and tail hairs are much shorter (like that of the zebra) than domesticated horses.  So my question is "why was a longer mane and tail hair bred into the domesticated species?!  My thoughts are that it's connected to why we modern humans can grow long head hair as opposed to our bonobo/chimp relatives who have short hair.  Apparently though, some African peoples hair don't grow long.  Of course I have a theory on that, butt I won't go into it.

The most astounding one is the "January 18, 19, 20, 21, 22/Date Sequence" pattern-cluster, also because two of the dates are additions to the "Targeting Family Birthdays" pattern-clusters.  I'm quite sure that if I investigate more... like the cryptic phrases in names, we'll find a communication.  I sure could use some help folks (it can remain anonymous).  It's very lengthy and so I stopped using that format of investigating and then settled on doing just a bit more butt limiting my search to only those who stood out:

1996–2000: The Jeff Van Gundy years

• Marcus D. Camby (born March 22, 1974)
• Allan Wade Houston (born April 20, 1971)
• Timothy Theodore Duncan (born April 25, 1976)
• Donald Ray Chaney (born March 22, 1946)
• Joseph Donald "Donnie" Walsh, Jr. (born March 1, 1941)
• Isiah Lord Thomas III (April 30, 1961)
• Stephon Xavier Marbury (born February 20, 1977)
• Timothy Mark "Tim" Thomas (born February 26, 1977)
• Herbert L. Williams (born February 16, 1958)
• Eddy Anthony Curry, Jr. (born December 5, 1982)
• Michael Damien "Mike" Sweetney (born October 25, 1982)
• Aaron Jamal Crawford (born March 20, 1980)
• David Lee (born April 29, 1983)
• Kelvin Trent Tucker (born December 20, 1959) via the Trent Tucker Rule and David Lee's winning 'tip' , note this excerpt:  Because of the Trent Tucker Rule, a player is allowed solely to tip the ball to score when the ball is put back into play with three-tenths of a second or less remaining. Because of this rule, the rarity of Lee's play increases.

So I find it really interesting that we have a "Sweetwater"(Nathaniel Clifton's nickname) and then a "Sweetney" (Michael Damien Sweetney)... and there's much more to it all when investigating further.  Maybe you would like to take over at this point?!

 So I ended it there and if you want to continue investigating the Knicks wiki page,  I left off at 2008–2010: Rebuilding
