Ambat Jose RIIP: First Ladies First

The Deaths in 2015 site lists under January 23rd:

• A. C. Jose, 78, Indian politician, Speaker of Kerala Legislature (1982), member of Parliament (1996–1997, 1998–2004)

Note from his wiki page:

• Ambat Chacko Jose (5 February 1937 – 23 January 2016)

His date of birth stands out given the following excerpt from my previous post:

• Linney and Hershey share the same birthday, hence generating a "February 5" pattern-cluster.  

So the cluster expands into a "February 5 (x3)" pattern-cluster.  Note from his wiki page:

Alma mater    Government Law College, Ernakulam

And from the College's wiki page:

• affiliated to the Mahatma Gandhi University in Kottayam.^[3] The College is a recognised Research Centre in Law under the Mahatma Gandhi University... list of alumni including K.G. Balakrishnan 

Note from the wiki page of Mahatma Gandhi and Balakrishnan :

• Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948)
• Konakuppakatil Gopinathan Balakrishnan (b. 12 May 1945)

Gandhi's date of death and Balakrishnan's birthday stand out due to the following excerpts from my previous post:

• "May 2, 4, 6, 8(x2), __, __, 14/Even Number Date Sequence" pattern-cluster
• The birthdays of Kinney and LaPaglia generates a "January 29, __, 31/Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.  

So following the leads associated with the 'timely' death of  two of the 3 gaps are bridged, leaving only May 10th needing to be bridged.  

• 1888 – Max Steiner, Austrian-American composer and conductor (d. 1971)
• 1999 – Shel Silverstein, American poet, author, and illustrator (b. 1930)
• 2000 – Jules Deschênes, Canadian lawyer and judge (b. 1923)
• 2000 – Kaneto Shiozawa, Japanese voice actor (b. 1954)
• 2000 – Dick Sprang, American illustrator (b. 1915)

I decided to investigate one... he's Canadian as am I:

• Jules Deschênes, CC FRSC (June 7, 1923 – May 10, 2000)

Note from his wiki page:

• On January 8, 1964 he accepted to prosecute at the Commission of Inquiry into the famous Coffin affair. In 1972 he was appointed a Justice of the Quebec Court of Appeal. In 1973 he was appointed, by Pierre Trudeau, Chief Justice of the Quebec Superior Court. He served in this position for ten years.

 January 8th is an addition to the "Targeting Family Birthdays" pattern-cluster in that January 8th is my stepson's birthday.  As well, January 4, 5 and 6 cropped up in my previous post, hence we now have a "January 4, 5, 6, __, 8(x2)/Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.

Note the following:

• Speaking in 2006, prominent Canadian criminal lawyer Edward Greenspan blamed Coffin's trial lawyer, Raymond Maher, for keeping Coffin out of the witness box: "It was incompetence with a capital I," Greenspan said of Maher. "It's the worst case of lawyering I've ever seen."^[4] 

What stood out is the "witness box", given the recent "Box" pattern-cluster. .. and not to mention that his name is also a word, note the following definition:  

•  Coffin:is a funerrary "box" 

Note from Coffin's wiki page:

• Wilbert Coffin (October 1915 - 10 February 1956)  

We now have a "February 10, __, __, May 10/ 10th Day Date Sequence" pattern-cluster. Note from Edward Greenspan's wiki page:

• Edward Leonard Greenspan,^[1] QC (February 28, 1944 – December 24, 2014)

His date of death stands out due to the following excerpt from my previous post:

• So we now have a "December __, 24, 25(x3)/ Date Sequence" 

Note from the Coffin Affair wiki page:

• In 1979, filmmaker Jean-Claude Labrecque made a feature film on the matter entitled L'Affaire Coffin.

Note from the films wiki page:

Release dates	September 10, 1980

 We now have a "__, February 10, __, __, May 10, __, __, August 10, September 10.../ 10th Day Date Sequence" pattern-cluster. I included August 10th as this date crops up in my previous post.

Note this next info from the  IMDb page of one of the films actors:

• Yvon Dufour (November 1, 1931 - February 10, 1999) 

Dufour passed away on the anniversary of Coffin's death... one day shy of the 44th anniversary.  

• In 1973 he was appointed, by Pierre Trudeau, Chief Justice of the Quebec Superior Court. He served in this position for ten years

Pierre Trudeau has cropped up in many of my recent posts, enough for me to be aware of the following info about his wife Margaret (Sinclair)Trudeau:

• Margaret Joan Sinclair (born September 10, 1948)

And so the cluster expands : "__, February 10, __, __, May 10, __, __, August 10, September 10 (x2).../ 10th Day Date Sequence" pattern-cluster. 

So I decided to investigate Margaret.  After all, she was renown as a "1st Lady", a title that jives with a name that cropped up in my previous post, Ruth First .   That should have struck a note at the time-- the "First" surname was definitely a heads up.  Oh well, better late than never.  So following the lead, note from Margaret's wiki page:

Preceded by	Maryon Pearson
Succeeded by	Maureen McTeer

Note from Maryon Pearson's wiki page:

• Maryon Elspeth Pearson (née Moody; December 13, 1901 – December 26, 1989) was the wife of Lester Bowles Pearson, the 14th Prime Minister of Canada. 

Her date of birth and death stand out, due to the following excerpts from my previous post:

• Just Mathias Thiele (13 December 1795 – 9 November 1874)  

• Release dates	December 13, 1996

•  on December 13, 2000 I was involved in a vehicle crash that changed my life forever...

•  Thorvald Nicolai Thiele(24 December 1838 – 26 September 1910)

• Davina Whitehouse (16 December 1912 – 25 December 2002) 
• Justin Trudeau(born December 25, 1971)
• Alexandre Trudeau(born December 25, 1973)) 

So we have an addition to the December 13 pattern-cluster and to the "December __, 24, 25(x3), 26/Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.   Now note from the wiki page of her husband:

• Lester Bowles "Mike" Pearson (23 April 1897 – 27 December 1972)

So the cluster expands once more: "December __, 24, 25(x3), 26, 27/Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.  Out of curiousity, I checked out yet another First Lady:

• Geills McCrae Kilgour Turner (fborn December 23, 1937)

So the cluster expands again: December 13 pattern-cluster and to the "December 23, 24, 25(x3), 26/Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.

On that note maybe we should check out all spouses of the Prime Minister of Canada.
