Dale Dazzle (UPDATE)

So given the MacGregor's part in the inner twin world's Starr Family Production, I think we need to investigate one of Rob's followers, who is mentioned in his recent September 14 post, Trickster Strikes Again:

Dale Dassel, a regular visitor to the blog, sent this one and noted the trickster synchro.

Note from Dale Dassel's website:

Dale is an avid reader, an accomplished writer of TV fan fiction, and an aficionado of orchestral movie scores (particularly those of John Williams). 

Note from John Williams wiki page under the section, Film and television scoring:

Williams worked with Franz Waxman, Bernard Herrmann, and Alfred Newman, and also with his fellow orchestrators Conrad Salinger

Note from the wiki pages of the three mentioned above:

• Franz Waxman (24 December 1906 – 24 February 1967)
• Bernard Herrmann (born Max Herman; June 29, 1911 – December 24, 1975)
• Alfred Newman (March 17, 1900 – February 17, 1970)  

Herman died on Waxman's birthday hence generating a "December 24(x2)" pattern-cluster.   And Newman's date of birth and death generates a "__, February 17, March 17, __/ 17th Day, Month Sequence" pattern-cluster. And we have a "December 24(x2), __, February 24/ 24th Day, Month Sequence" pattern-cluster.  In the case of the second cluster, we're not sure just yet in which direction to go, either January 17 or April 17, butt I'm sure the inner twin world will leave a clue.  So let's deal with December 24, since the inner twin world have a propensity for generating clusters in groups of 3, the two that we have now is a prompt for us to seek out the third.  Using the formula  we arrive at:

• 1999 – Maurice Couve de Murville, French soldier and politician, 152nd Prime Minister of France (b. 1907)
• 1999 – João Figueiredo, Brazilian general and politician, 30th President of Brazil (b. 1918)
• 2000 – John Cooper, English businessman, co-founded the Cooper Car Company (b. 1923)

Note from their wiki pages:

• Maurice Couve de Murville (24 January 1907 – 24 December 1999) 
• João Baptista de Oliveira Figueiredo (January 15, 1918 – December 24, 1999)
• John Newton Cooper (17 July 1923 – 24 December 2000) 

And so de Murville's birthday bridges the gap to the above cluster, making it  a "December 24(x5), January 24, February 24/ 24th Day, Month Sequence" pattern-cluster, and we also now have a  "Targeting Family Birthdays" pattern-cluster (given that both my son and life partner are born on January 15)-- and so also a "January 15(x3)" pattern-cluster.  As well, Cooper's birthday is our "clue" that gives us direction and expanding the above cluster into a:

 "February 17, March 17, __, __, __, July 17/ 17th Day, Month Sequence" pattern-cluster

So Bridging the April 17 gap ... using the formula and taking into consideration the "one off" curve ball, we arrive at:

• 1997 – Chaim Herzog ( 17 September 1918 – 17 April 1997) Israeli general, lawyer, and politician, 6th President of Israel (b. 1918)

• 1998 – Linda McCartney (September 24, 1941 – April 17, 1998)  American photographer, activist, and musician (b. 1941)

• 2003 – Robert Atkins (October 17, 1930 – April 17, 2003American physician and cardiologist, created the Atkins diet (b. 1930)

And so the clusters expands:

• "February 17, March 17, April 17(x3), __, __, July 17, __, September 17, October 17 / 17th Day, Month Sequence" pattern-cluster
•  "September 24, __, __, December 24(x5), January 24, February 24/ 24th Day, Month Sequence" pattern-cluster

 And so to bridge the August 17 gap... cutting to the chase:

• 1998 – Tadeusz Ślusarski (19 May 1950  – 17 August 1998) Polish pole vaulter 
• 2000 – Jack Walker  (19 May 1929 – 17 August 2000) English businessman 
• 2004 – Thea Astley  (25 August 1925 – 17 August 2004) Australian author and educator 

First of all, August 25 is the birthday of my granddaughter.    And so we now have a "May 19(x2)" pattern-cluster. Cutting to the chase:

 Alexey Petrovich Maresyev ( 20 May 1916 – 19 May 2001) 

And keep in mind that Rob MacGregor's birthday is May 16... hence generating a "May 16, __, __, 19, 20/ Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.   And so now for May 18... cutting to the chase:

Irene Hunt (May 18, 1907 – May 18, 2001)

I'll end it there, butt back now to Dale Dassel, namely his surname that's a cryptic "dazzle".  So note the etymology:  

dazzle (v.)  late 15c., frequentative of Middle English dasen (see daze (v.)). Originally intransitive; the transitive sense is from 1530s. Related: Dazzled; dazzling.

daze (v.) early 14c., dasen, perhaps from Old Norse *dasa (compare dasask "to become weary," with reflexive suffix -sk). Or perhaps from Middle Dutch dasen "act silly." Perhaps originally "to make weary with cold," which is the sense of Icelandic dasask(from the Old Norse word). Related: Dazed.
