Come On DOWN!!

On perusing my list of recent posts in this blogs sidebar, I came to my recent October 9 post, Rife Drown Gardner.   I've been saying that the "Down Theme" pattern-cluster began with my October 10th posts, butt I see now that this isn't the case.  The "Drown" in the title is an addition to the "Remove a Letter Makes a Word" pattern-cluster... as in remove the "r" makes "Down"!!  Note the etymology:

• drown (v.)...druncnian "be swallowed up by water" (originally of ships as well as living things), probably from the base of drincan "to drink.

And so the inner twin world were setting the pace as to what "DOWN" involves!!  Now note this excerpt from the post:

• Ruth Beymer Drown (October 21, 1891 – March 13, 1965) 

Note the following info regarding the 2 notable persons mentioned on Ruth Drown's wiki page:

• Martin Gardner (October 21, 1914 – May 22, 2010)

• Albert Abrams (December 8, 1863 – January 13, 1924)

We have an "October 19, __, 21(x2)" pattern-cluster.  

The two October Birthdays stand out more so now since today is October 21, and so the cluster expands:

• We have an "October 19, __, 21(x3)" pattern-cluster.

And then I checked the very next post to see if I had bridged the gap, butt found this instead:

• George Hall(November 19, 1916 – October 21, 2002)

• Carrie Frances Fisher(October 21, 1956 – December 27, 2016)

• Rick McCallum(born August 22, 1954)

• Victor Monroe Armstrong(born 5 October 1946)   

• Frank Árpád Darabont(January 28, 1959)

Obviously, what stands out is the fact that Hall died on Fisher's birthday, and so another addition to the "Timely" pattern-cluster.  October 21 is "timely" for another reason, note from my previous post:

• James C. Murray  (May 16, 1917 – October 19, 1999) politician 

• Ruth Beymer Drown (October 21, 1891 – March 13, 1965) 

• Martin Gardner (October 21, 1914 – May 22, 2010)

And so we now have an "October 19, __, 21(x4)" pattern-cluster.   

So we actually have an  "October 19, __, 21(x5)" pattern-cluster.   
And then note this excerpt from another October 9th post, Barker Yip :

• 2011 – Ralph Barker (born 21 October 1917 – 16 May 2011)  author 

His surname caught my eye, butt not as much as his birthday.  Note from my previous post:

• Sean Patrick Flanery (born October 11, 1965)
• George Hall(November 19, 1916 – October 21, 2002)
• Carrie Frances Fisher(October 21, 1956 – December 27, 2016)
• James C. Murray  (May 16, 1917 – October 19, 1999) politician 
• Ruth Beymer Drown (October 21, 1891 – March 13, 1965) 
• Martin Gardner (October 21, 1914 – May 22, 2010)

I should have made the Bob Barker connection then... and The Price is Right catchphrase: "Come On DOWN!!"
