Bernard Wolfe RIIP: The Wolf and the Crane

The Deaths in 2016 site lists under April 13:
Bernard B. Wolfe, 101, American politician, member of the Illinois House of Representatives (1965–1974).
His surname is an addition to the recent  "Wolf/Dog/K9/Canine/Jackal/Fox... Themed" pattern-cluster,  and as such warrants further investigation.  His wiki page is sparse, with no other notable person mentioned that can serve as a lead, butt there is the following excerpt:
He attended Crane Junior College
What strikes me is the name of the College, "Crane", given that there is a fable called:  The Wolf and the Craneattributed to Aesop.  The fables wiki page begins with the original crane and wolf, and then goes on to mention others fables stemming from it that include other animals such as a Herron, Woodpecker, Tiger and Fox.   I quickly visited the wiki page of  notable persons mentioned in search of birth/death info that tend to be used in generating pattern-clusters.  The persons first mentioned go  back before a time when birth/death dates of notable individuals are not recorded.  Continuing along through modern times I came to the following excerpt
Jean de la Fontaine makes his social point through satire.
The link takes us to the wiki page of his Fables, and which provides a link and then the following:
Jean de La Fontaine (8 July 1621 – 13 April 1695) 
Bernard Wolfe died on the same day as La Fontaine, hence generating an "April 13 (x2)" pattern-cluster.

I then investigate the Crane Junior College, the link bringing me to the following info: 

Malcolm X College
Former names
Crane Junior College, Theodore Herzl Junior College
The College had its name changed "three" times, again the group of three is in keeping with the theme.  Following each lead I garnered the following:

  • Richard Teller Crane (May 15, 1832 – January 8, 1912)
  • Theodor Herzl (May 2, 1860 – July 3, 1904)
  • Malcolm X (May 19, 1925 – February 21, 1965)
Even though many of the dates stand out for various reasons, it's Herzl's date of death that stands out most of all given that it connects to Wolfe, and to the following from his wiki page: 

Bernard B. Wolfe (July 1, 1914 – April 13, 2016) 
Wolfe's birthday and Herzl's date of death generates a July 1, _, 3, 4/Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.   I included July 4th because it's part of the sequence and because of the importance of this day, not just that it's Independence Day in the US, butt because "3"of the first five US Presidents died on July 4th!!  This cluster with a "gap"  is one that is typically generated by the inner twin world, strategically designed to prompt us to bridge the gap, in this case represented by July 2nd.  We then venture to the July 2nd wiki page where there are three long lists of notable Events, Births and Deaths.  Because the lists are long, we're generally expected to limit our search by investigating the years having 3 identical numbers at the end, which is in keeping with the "Groups of Three" pattern-cluster theme.   I found one item from the Events section that immediately stood out:
We have a notable person with the middle name "Fox",  another addition to recent  "Wolf/Dog/K9/Canine/Jackal/Fox... Themed" pattern-cluster. Note from his wiki page:
  • Vicente Fox Quesada (born 2 July 1942) 
  •  On 2 July 2000, (Fox's 58th birthday) he won the presidential election 
  • Vicente Fox remarried on 2 July 2001 while in office as President. He married Marta María Sahagún Jiménez (until then his spokesperson). The date was the first anniversary of his presidential election and his 59th birthday. 
So July 2 was important to Quesada for "THREE" reasons!!! Note this next excerpt from his wiki page:
When President Fox welcomed U.S. President George W. Bushto his ranch in Guanajuato, both presidents were wearing Fox’s signature black cowboy boots, prompting the Wall Street Journal to call it “The Boot Summit”.[20]
We now have another. Addition to the recent "Boot" pattern-cluster (simply read my posts over the last 2 days).   Note from Bush's wiki page:
George Walker Bush (born July 6, 1946)
The cluster now expands into a "July 1, 2, 3, 4, __, 6/Date Sequence"pattern-cluster.   I'll leave that one for you ... Or I should say : I leave that for W (double you)!!
