S-Nooky

continuing on.  And back to the Florida sinkholes and in particular:

• Kingsley Lake is an almost circular lake of about 2,000 acres (810 ha) in North Central Florida, about six miles (9.7 km) east of Starke, Florida.

One of the 2 Notable Persons mentioned on the Starke wiki page stands out:

• Doyle Edward Conner, Sr. (December 17, 1928 – December 16, 2012) 

He died one day before his 84th birthday, hence an addition to the now expanded:

• December 14(x3), _, 16, 17, 18(x3), 19, _, 21, _, _, _, 25, _, _, 28, 29, _, 31(x2)/Date Sequence" pattern cluster

Note how the bulk of the dates represented are in the second half of the month... there is only one and a half day albeit three occurring on December 14.   This is a prompt to bridge the December 15 gap.  So venturing to the December 15 wiki page and then using the formula... and taking care to watch for the "one off" curve ball, we arrive at:  

• 2000 – Haris Brkić, Bosnian-Serbian basketball player (b. 1974)
• 2003 – George Fisher, American cartoonist (b. 1923)

As far as the names go, Fisher trumps given the recent "Fisher" pattern-cluster.  Note from their wiki pages:

• Haris Brkić (July 24, 1974 – December 15, 2000)
• George Fisher (8 April 1923 – 15 December 2003) political cartoonist.

On Fisher's wiki page, one notable person is mentioned:

• Homer Martin Adkins (October 15, 1890 – February 26, 1964)

Note his initials make up an acronym: H.A.M.!!   Saddens me to say he was a member of the KKK... how do people like that get elected into politics?! There are a number of notable persons mentioned on his wiki page, note from their wiki pages:

• Robert L. Bailey (August 7, 1892 – December 23, 1957)
• Carl Edward Bailey (October 8, 1894 – October 23, 1948) 
• James Levesque "Bex" Shaver, Sr. (May 17, 1902 – August 1, 1985) 
• Benjamin Travis Laney, Jr. (November 25, 1896 – January 21, 1977)
• Hattie Ophelia Wyatt Caraway (February 1, 1878 – December 21, 1950)
• James William Fulbright (April 9, 1905 – February 9, 1995)
• Orval Eugene Faubus (January 7, 1910 – December 14, 1994) 
• Pratt Cates Remmel, Sr. (October 26, 1915 – May 14, 1991)

Note the two Bailey's... meaningful given that my dog Bailey crops up a number of times in ths series of posts.   And the cluster expands into a :

• December 14(x4), 15, 16, 17, 18(x3), 19, _, 21(x2), _, 23, _, 25, _, _, 28, 29, _, 31(x2)/Date Sequence" pattern cluster

Note from Fishers  wiki page: 

Fisher met a female artist named Rosemary Snook. After the war, Fisher married Snook and began hiding her nickname, "Snooky", into most of his cartoons. Finding the hidden nickname became a favorite game for those who read his cartoons regularly.

His wife is "Snooky"... short for "some nooky":

nook·yˈno͝okē/
noun

vulgar slang

And of course Snook is an addition to the "Remove a Letter from a Name to Mak a Word" pattern-cluster-- remove the "S" to get "Nook".  Hmmm, let's revisit an etymology :

• niche (n.) 1610s, "shallow recess in a wall," from French niche "recess (for a dog), kennel" (14c.), perhaps from Italian nicchia "niche, nook," 

You remember... from investigating McNish earlier!!  And we have "nook"... that rhymes with book, hook, crook, took, look, kook, rook... and so who or what could all these words apply to?! 

can you find the hidden words in this post?! SNOOKY  Rooky  Booky  Sookey!
