Leary Ear (Rescue Part 10)

Of those recently added to Wikipedia’s Death in 2018 site, one stands out:

• Elusive Quality, 25, American racehorse, euthanized.

Not very often that an animal is added... and the name definitely factors into the cryptic communication.  Note from Elusive Quality’s wiki page:

• Elusive Quality (January 27, 1993 – March 14, 2018) 

Note the birthday ... an addition to the cluster in my previous post, expanding it into a:

• January 1, __, 5, 7, __, 11(x7), 13(x5), 15(x3), 17, 19(x4), 21(x3), 23(x4), 25, 27, __, 31/ Uneven Day, Date Sequence” pattern-cluster

And considering the recent “One Off” pattern-cluster... and given that my stepson’s birthday is January 8th— one off from January 9th, lets investigate the January 9th gap using the formula:

• 2000 – Nigel Tranter (23 November 1909 – 9 January 2000)Scottish historian and author (b. 1909)

His birthday, November 23 is the same as my mothers... and given my grandson’s birthday of January 23 that generates a “November 23, ___, January 23/ 23rd Day/Month Sequence” pattern-cluster, and using the formula we then arrive at:  

• 2000 – Victor Borge (3 January 1909 – 23 December 2000) Danish-American comedian, pianist, and conductor 

And so the cluster expands yet again:

• January 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11(x7), 13(x5), 15(x3), 17, 19(x4), 21(x3), 23(x4), 25, 27, __, 31/ Uneven Day, Date Sequence” pattern-cluster

Cutting to the chase:

•  1888 – Edward Lear (12 or 13 May 1812^[1][2] – 29 January 1888)  English poet and illustrator

His surname is an addition to the “Remove a Letter Makes a Word” and the “Add a Letter Makes a Word” pattern-cluster... as in remove the “L” makes “ear” and then add a “y” makes “Leary”.  His name then is a cryptic “eddy ward leary ear”.
