Tommy Bartlett RIIP (Wellington Part 29): Talk Talk vs Balk Balk

The Deaths in 2016 site lists under October 19:

• Tommy Bartlett, 88, American tennis and basketball coach

I make it a point of going out of my way when a "Thomas" dies, after all , the name means "twin" in origin and so an addition to the "Twin Things" pattern-cluster.  And note as well, his twin age at death: 88.  So we have a double heads up.  Note from his wiki page:

• served as the men's basketball head coach for ... the University of Florida

Florida stands out given the recent "Wellington" series of posts.  And then note his birthday:

• Thomas George Bartlett (born June 6, 1928)

June 6th is 6/6 and so an addition to the "Identical Number Sequence" pattern-cluster.  And, we also have a "June 6, 7, __/ Date Sequence" pattern-cluster, since a key player in the inner twin worlds "Starr Family Production" and Wellington resident Trish MacGregor (see this weeks series of "Wellington" posts) was born on June 7th.  

On the University of Florida wiki page I find the following:

...founded in Ocala, Florida.  On January 6, 1853, Governor Thomas Brown signed a bill that provided public support for higher education in the state of Florida.

The place Ocala is an addition to the recent and prolific "O/Eau/ Water/October" and the "Names Beginning/Ending with O" pattern-cluster.  The name Thomas Brown means we also have a "Thomas/Twin(x2)" pattern-cluster.  A definite heads up.  Note from his wiki page:

Thomas Brown (October 24, 1785 – August 24, 1867)

Both dates are additions to the "Off By One" pattern-cluster given that 3 member of my life partners family members are born on October 25 and my granddaughter was born on August 25.   This is a way for the inner twin world to say that we're "off track" insofar as their mandate goes... and hence the war... the slaughter (see previous post), and/or, that they want us to veer off track in some regard.

We now turn to bridging the gap above re "June 6, 7, __/ Date Sequence" pattern-cluster, And we do this by investigating the missing day's wiki page.  So, considering the "off track", I decided to veer from my usual investigative format.  In doing so I found the following notable person in the births section:

• 1911 – Edmundo Rivero, Argentinian singer-songwriter (d. 1986)

As you can see, his surname jives in many respects -- his surname ends in "O" and it also contains a cryptic "river o/eau/water"... the French word for water is "eau" (pronounced like our letter "O").   Note from Rivero's wiki page:

Leonel Edmundo Rivero (June 8, 1911 – January 18, 1986) 

His date of death stands out given that we now have a "January 18, 19, __, 21/ Date Sequence" pattern-cluster given the birthdays of my brother and daughter-- January 19 and 21 respectively.   Note this next excerpt from Tommy Bartlett's wiki page:

He was also responsible for recruiting Florida's first African-American player, Steve Williams

There's no link in the name Steve Williams so I decided to google the name to see if maybe he appears, note the first two to crop up:

• Steve Williams (caddy) -  (born 29 December 1963)
• "Dr. Death" Steve Williams -  (May 14, 1960 – December 29, 2009)

Dr. Death (Steve Williams) died on Steve Williams (caddy) birthday, hence generating a "December 29(x2)/Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.  Now following the usual format, I came across:

• Adele Stimmel Chase (October 17, 1917 – December 29, 2000)

Her birthday and Bartlett's date of death generates an "October 17, __, 19, 20/Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.  And when we veer from the norm as we did above, we then get:

• 1911 – Klaus Fuchs, German physicist and spy (d. 1988)

• Emil Julius Klaus Fuchs (29 December 1911 – 28 January 1988) 

His date of birth and death generates a "December 29, January 28, ___/Date Sequence" pattern-cluster... with the next in sequence being "February 27"-- a gap to be bridged by investigating the day.  First though, note from Fucks wiki page:

A tutorial he gave to Qian Sanqiang and other Chinese physicists helped them to develop the first Chinese atomic bomb

This stands out due to the "bomb" and the following excerpt from yesterdays post, Eddie Applegate RIIP: (Wellington Part 25):

•  Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 – May 6, 1919) 

 Just one off from May 16!!  So we have a "May 15, 16(x3), __/Date Sequence" pattern-cluster. Note from the wiki pages of Baum's sons:

• Frank Joslyn Baum (December 3, 1883 – December 2, 1958)  
• Harry Neal Baum (December 18, 1889 – June 7, 1967)

Note the dates, and of course note the surnames of the three.   We now have a "Baum/Bomb" pattern-cluster.  A cryptic bomb threat?!  Note from Quian Sanquang's wiki page:

• Qian Sanqiang (October 16, 1913 – June 28, 1992) 

His birthday expands the cluster into an "October 16, 17, 18, 19, 20/Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.

And now to deal with the February 27 gap in the above cluster regarding Fuchs.  Veering from the norm once again, note on the February 27 wiki page from the births section:

• 1888 – Roberto Assagioli, Italian psychiatrist and psychologist (d. 1974)
• 1888 – Earl Caddock, American wrestler (d. 1950)
• 1888 – Lotte Lehmann, German-American soprano and actress (d. 1976)

The name Roberto jives in that it ends with "o" and is an addition to the recent "Robert/Bob (float/cut short), Rob (steal) Theme" pattern-cluster... and note Trish's husband's name is "Rob"... another notable Wellington resident. And speaking of Rob MacGregor, Dr. Deaths May 14 birthday and that of Rob MacGregors, and the above cluster generates a "May 14,  15, 16 (x3)/Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.  Roberto's wiki page doesn't have his death info listed, butt check out the day of death for the other two:

• Earl Caddock (February 27, 1888 – August 25, 1950)
• Charlotte "Lotte" Lehmann (February 27, 1888 – August 26, 1976)

Lotte died one day after the anniversary of Caddock's date of death!! Remember above re my granddaughters birthday being August 25 and Thomas Brown's date of death is August 24th. So we now have an "August 24, 25(x2), 26/Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.


Note from the wiki pages of those mentioned on Bartlett's wiki page:

• Ray Mears (November 8, 1926 – June 11, 2007)
• Gary J. Keller (born June 13, 1944)
• Neal Eugene Walk (July 29, 1948 – October 4, 2015)

My birthday is June 13 and my step granddaughters birthday is June 12,  hence we have a "June 11, 12, 13(x2)/Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.  And we have to consider the cryptic elements in their name... my Tou Sense Worth interpretation... a message to the MacGregor's : it's a mear (meer/fear) walk in the keller park.   Note from Helen Keller's wiki page:

• Helen Adams Keller (June 27, 1880 – June 1, 1968)

We now have a "June 25, __, 27, 28/ Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.  I included June 25th because it's the day of death of Michael Jackson, who jives with this post and the MacGregors, as you can see for yourself by reading the first post in this blog re: Censoring Around Michael Jackson's Death (RIIP). 

And so bridging the June 26 gap, I again ventured from the usual investigative format:

• Bronisław Żurakowski (26 June 1911 – 4 October 2009) 

And just when you think that he doesn't fit, note the following excerpt from above:

• Neal Eugene Walk (July 29, 1948 – October 4, 2015)

Note his first name "Neal" is a cryptic "kneel" which is a metaphor  meaning to "conform/obey"... and his surname "walk" is also a metaphor, meaning "do the walk"-- in this case "Talk Talk"... which had just recently cropped up.  Hmmm, I'm reminded of a book,  Talk Talk Talk - Jay Ingram
that I've talked about in earlier posts.  Note from Jay Ingram's wiki page:

Jay Ingram   (born March 20, 1945)

His date of birth doesn't mean much at this point in the post, butt just wait, the inner twin world haven't finished their "talk talk talk" just yet.

Anyhow, by now you get the jest "wright"?!  Do the walk talk talk and not the walk balk balk (sound a chicken makes... also meaning "to hesitate")!!  And there's more to "balk" than meets the eye, note the etymology

• balk (v.)  "to leave an unplowed ridge when plowing," from balk (n.). Extended meaning "to omit, intentionally neglect" is mid-15c. Most modern senses are figurative, from the notion of a balk in the fields as a hindrance or obstruction: sense of "stop short" (as a horse confronted with an obstacle) is late 15c.; that of "to refuse" 
• balk (n.) Old English balca "ridge, bank," from or influenced by Old Norse balkr "ridge of land,"  

 Interesting... the "ridge of land" mentioned in the second etymology.  This reminds me of where the MacGregor's live in Wellington Florida-- land that lay dangerously close to a particular "ridge" -- near the outer rim of the North American Plate, and as I explain in a myriad of posts, this is a dangerous place to be.  Check out this image of our North American Plate:

North American Plate

and now check out the extent of glacial Maximum during the previous glacial period:


During the last glacial period and as ice several miles thick covered much of the North American Plate, certain areas, like Florida, had remained ice free, and as a result, the area had curled up in response to the downward thrust of the glacial weight in other areas of the plate (like here in Nova Scotia) that had sunk down.  So several thousands years and as the glaciers continue to dissipate, the land continues to adjust back to it's preglacial shape-- rising and falling accordingly.   Florida is in the process of falling.  To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction-- Isaac Newton.  Speaking of Newton, note from his wiki page:

Sir Isaac Newton ( 25 December 1642 – 20 March 1726/27)   

Note his date of death, and then note the following excerpt from above:

Jay Ingram   (born March 20, 1945)
