Equals

... continuing on from my previous post, The Bill, note the following excerpt from my previous post:

• And so we now have a "December 7(x2), __, 9/ Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.  

There are two ways we can go-- seek out the intended third December 7 and/or bridge the gap.  I'll do one... so using the formula... and then a little mental yoga stretch outside the box, we arrive at:   

• 1997 – Billy Bremner, Scottish footballer and manager (b. 1942)

Surly you see the "Bill" in Billy?!  Definitely warrants further investigation, note from his wiki page:

William John Bremner (9 December 1942 – 7 December 1997) 

So what are the chances... and so the cluster expands into a

• December 7(x2), __, 9(x2)/ Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.

I also noticed on the December 7 wiki page that this was also the day of  the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, and so there was a group of names added to the site.  I picked out the one who stood out:

• Thomas James Reeves, American sailor (b. 1895)

Thomas means "twin" in origin and so a heads up:
 Thomas James Reeves, born in Thomaston, Connecticut, December 9, 1895, was a US Navy radioman who became the namesake of the destroyer escort USS Reeves. Reeves was killed during the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941,
