Nelson DeMille RIIP: The Li-On Game

Jiving along with the MacGregor's again, note the following excerpts from their February 22 post, A Glint from Sixto:

• Last month, I wrote a post about Sixto Castillo,

• The day I received your letter I was reading a novel called, THE QUEST, by Nelson DeMille, one of my favorite authors.

So going now to Neson DeMille's wiki page, I noted a "Lion/Panther Theme" pattern-cluster in regards to the titles of his novels.  I'll focus on one:

• The Lion's Game (2000)

Note from the novels wiki page:

• According to the official Nelson DeMille website, a movie about The Lion's Game (and Plum Island) will be released. The rights to the novel were bought by Columbia Pictures in January 2000

So our next lead is Columbia Pictures, note from its wiki page:

Founder	Harry Cohn Jack Cohn Joe Brand

And from the wiki page of  Cohn and Brand:

• Harry Cohn (July 23, 1891 – February 27, 1958)
• Joe Brandt (July 20, 1882 - February 22, 1939)

Cohn's birthday is an addition to the "Targeting Family Deaths" pattern-cluster given that my mother passed away on July 23rd just last year.  Brandt's date of death is an addition to the "Targeting Family Birthdays" pattern-cluster ... AND, today being February 22nd... means that it's  my grandsons 2nd birthday (note: when he turns 8, the date will be 2/22/22).

Note this next excerpt from DeMille's wiki page:

• He is a member of American Mensa

The Mensa wiki page mentions 3 notable persons, Roland Berrill,  Dr. Lancelot Ware and  Margot Seitelman.  Note from their wiki pages: 

• Lancelot Lionel Ware OBE (5 June 1915 – 15 August 2000)
• Margot Seitelman (February 23, 1928 – November 5, 1989)

Ware's date of birth and death generates a "June 5, ____, August 15/Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.  Seitelman's birthday generates a "February 22, 23,__/Date Sequence"pattern-cluster.
So I'll bridge the first gap, from the July 10 wiki page in the Deaths Section is:

• 2000 – Justin Pierce, English-American actor and skateboarder (b. 1975)

One of the films that Justin acted in stands out, given that it's in keeping with the "Leo Theme":

• King of the Jungle (2000) 

So perusing through the list of cast on the films IMDb page, note some of the names:

Sixto Ramos

...

Det. Lemons

Gabe Castillo

...

Man on Block (uncredited)

  Seth Zvi Rosenfeld                                          ...  Herbi 

  Cliff Gorman                                                   ...  Jack


The first name of the first and last name of the second make "Sixto Castillo"!!   The name "Seth" is associated with the MacGregor's in a roundabout way... simply key in the name into their blogs search box and you'll see the connection.  And well, Gorman as do the MacGregor's, are additions to the recent "Greggory/MacGregor /Great Gore Theme" pattern-cluster. One of the cast has his birthday and date of death recorded on his IMDb page: 

• Cliff Gorman ( October 13, 1936 - September 5, 2002) 

His date of birth stands out due to the Films Release date: 

R | 1h 27min | Crime, Drama, Thriller | 12 October 2000 (USA)

So there's the other cluster that needs bridging:

"February 22, 23,__/Date Sequence"pattern-cluster

Again, following the same format of bridging the gap brings us to :

• 1999 – Andre Dubus, American author and educator (b. 1936)

I've posted about this man before so no need to do it all over again... just search this blog if you want to see how he fits in.
