Bob Ebeling RIIP (Part 2): The Golden Ass

continuing on from my previous post not the following info from the wiki pages of two astronauts who died on the Space Shuttle Challenger:

• Gregory Bruce Jarvis (August 24, 1944 – January 28, 1986)
• Ellison Shoji Onizuka (June 24, 1946 – January 28, 1986) 

We have another addition to the "Gregory/MacGregor/ Great Gore" pattern-cluster.  As well, the two birthdays generate a "June 24, ____, August 24/Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.  So to bridge the gap the wiki page of the missing day needs investigating.  Note from the July 24 wiki page:

• 1888 – Arthur Richardson, Australian cricketer and coach (d. 1973)
• 1895 – Robert Graves, English-Spanish author, poet, and scholar (d. 1985)

Usually I just investigate the years having 3 identical numbers at the end, butt we have had a major "Off By One" pattern-cluster in the works as well as a "Robert/Rob (steal)/Bob (float/cut short)" pattern-cluster.  And of course there's the surname "Graves"!!

And then also on the July 24 wiki page:

• 2000 – Ahmad Shamloo, Iranian poet and journalist (b. 1925)
• 2001 – May Lesser Hyman, American illustrator (b. 1927)

Again, it's the second one who stands out, given my name is "May".  There's a cryptic communication no doubt, butt I'm baffled?!

Note from Graves wiki page:

• The Golden Ass 

Note from the wiki page of the novel, The Golden Ass:

•  While trying to perform a spell to transform into a bird, he is accidentally transformed into an ass.  

The "Golden Ass" speaks volumes, butt not everyone would agree!!  And I'll leave the rest for you.
