Silverstein RIIP (Part 2): East and West... Left and Wright

continuing from my previous post I had left off with two of Davenports novels that were made into films:
Given that the latter stands out (see previous post), I decided to perused through the list of cast and crew, venturing to the wiki pages in order to determine who stands out the most:
  • Van Heflin as Mark Dwyer (December 13, 1908[1] – July 23, 1971)
His date of birth is an addition to the "Significant Dates" pattern-cluster given that this is the date of my car crash of 2000... an event that was pivotal in leading me to discover my inner twin and the inner twin world.  The date of July 23rd is an addition to the "Targeting Family Birthdays" pattern-cluster, given that my mother passed away this year on July 23rd... exactly 4 months ago.  Made more meaningful given this next excerpt... the opening sentence from my previous post:
This post is dedicated to my mom given that today is November 23rd, and so it's my mothers birthday... So Happy Birthday MOM!! 
Note the etymology of the surname Heflin from the House of Names information page: 
... Heflin: it is possible that there's a connection to the word "eamh" that  denotes "groaning or exclamation of disgust."  
This is particularly meaningful when considering the following excerpt from yesterdays November 22nd post, Chowdhury RIIP: Should Hurry... Gallop!!
The surname Blau is German, that translates as "blue".  This is an addition to the "Colour Theme" pattern-cluster, and then again, the word blue is used to express sadness... under the weather. In fact, "blau" is similar enough to  "blah", a word used to describe depression... feeling blue... a case of the blahs.  Some of my post titles over the last few days use terms that reflect anger/disappointment... which usually goes hand in hand with the blahs.  For instance, note my November 21st post, ... Danger Ocean (Part 2): Ought to Stern... 
Now this is where things get a bit more complicated.  While investigating the etymology of the surname Heflin, I noticed an ad (see bottom of this page), that shows two sets of feet, one small (childs) resting atop an adults ... they are warming their feet against a blazing fire.   It's just that "feet" have factored in as of late... namely broken ones.  My dad had been staying with me, convalescing after his car crash (note I did not say "accident")... that resulted in a broken heel.  As well, if you key "broken foot" into this blogs search box, some of the posts cropping up reveal a certain father and child who each experienced a mysterious "broken foot"-- Rob MacGregor and his daughter Megan.
