Vladimir Zeldin RIIP: Byrnes, Byrds & Ravens (Wellington part 53)

...Continuing from my previous post.  Mentioned on James F. Byrnes wiki page are a number (38) of notable persons who I took the time to investigate, gathering their birthday & day of death info (see Next post.  During the process I took note of a particularly 'audd' name:

• Harry Flood Byrd, Sr. (June 10, 1887 – October 20, 1966)

The name provides us with a cryptic phrase: "Harry (hair raising/ hairy scary) flood bird y (why)".  The phrase should make sense to those of you who regularly follow this blog.  Keep in mind the similarity between "Byrd" and Byrnes"-- a "Names Beginning with Byr" pattern-cluster.  AND, it makes even more sense after checking out the etymology:

Byrnes: Their name in Irish is O'Broin, the Gaelic prefix "O" indicating "male descendant of", plus the personal byname Bron i.e. Bran, raven.

raven (n.)... peeps forth from the mists of time and the thickets of mythology, as a bird of slaughter, a storm bird, a sun and fire bird, a messenger, an oracular figure and a craftsman or culture hero. [Edward A. Armstrong, "The Folklore of Birds," 1958]

 The name Byrnes means raven... A harbinger of disaster... Like fire and flood!!  And in the above etymology of "raven" we have a notable person to investigate:

 Edward Allworthy Armstrong (October 8, 1900 – December 19, 1978)  

On Byrnes wiki page is a side bar that includes 12 of his political associates, 2 of whom stand out:

• John Wesley Snyder (June 21, 1895 – October 8, 1985)
• Coleman Livingston Blease (October 8, 1868 – January 19, 1942)  

Snider died on the birthdays of Armstrong and Blease, hence generating an "October 8 (x3)" pattern-cluster.  There is another cluster to consider, generated by Harry Byrd's date of birth: June 10 th.  Given that my step granddaughter and my birthday are June 11 & 13 respectively, we now have a "June 10,__,12,13/Date Sequence" pattern cluster.  This cluster is a strategic design-- a prompt for us to bridge the gap.  So, we then venture to the June 11 wiki page following the usual investigative format that narrows the search to one person:

• 1999 – DeForest Kelley, American actor and screenwriter (b. 1920)

The cryptic  "de forest" in his name jives  ... One way to de forest is by burning and/or flooding... A
great devastation to birds!!  Note from his wiki page:

Jackson DeForest Kelley (January 20, 1920 – June 11, 1999) 

His birthday and the birthday of my brother and daughter generates a "January 19, 20,21/Date Sequence" pattern cluster. Note this next excerpt:

•  Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy...in the television and film series Star Treck   

Original release	September 8, 1966 – June 3, 1969

Note the date that the series had first aired... Another 8 .  AND, of the other 36 notable persons mentioned on Byrnes entire wiki page, only 2 more have 8 in either their dates, and both are found in 
the sidebar:

• Harry S. Truman (May 8, 1884 – December 26, 1972)   
• Fred Moore Vinson (January 22, 1890 – September 8, 1953)

We now have an "August 8, September 89x2), October 8,__, __, January 8..." 8th Day,Date Sequence" pattern cluster .  August 8 & January 8 are the birthdays of my ex husband and step son.  And Vinsons birthday adds to the above : a "January 19, 20,21,22/ Date Sequence" pattern cluster.
