AA

Note the following info regarding 3 notable persons recently added to The Deaths in 2018 site :

• António Arnault (28 Jan 1936 – 21 May 2018) 82, Minister of Social Affairs.
• Aleksandr Askoldov (17 June 1932 – 21 May 2018) 85, actor/film director 
• Antonio Annibale (10 February 1940 – 20 May 2018)78, footballer

Each have the initials “A.A.”.  This is a strategic design influence ... and a prompt for us to investigate Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), note from AA’s wiki page:

• founded in 1935 by Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob Smith 
• Stanton Peele argued that some AA groups apply the disease model to all problem drinkers, whether or not they are "full-blown" alcoholics 

Note from the wiki pages of notable persons mentioned:

• William Griffith Wilson (November 26, 1895 – January 24, 1971)
• Robert Holbrook Smith (August 8, 1879 – November 16, 1950),
•  Stanton Peele (born January 8, 1946) 

The birthday of Smith and Peele are also the birthdays of my exhusband and stepson... these dates have cropped up a number of times in recent posts. AND, note from my previous post:

• Michael Parker Banton (8 September 1926 – 22 May 2018)
• 1999 – Catfish Hunter (April 8, 1946 – September 9, 1999) baseball player 
• 2000 – Julian Critchley (8 December 1930 – 9 September 2000) politician 

And so over the last couple days, we have a  

• “January 8, __, March 8(x2),  April 8, May 8(x4), June 8, __, August 8, September 8, __, __, December 8 / 8th Day, Month Sequence” pattern-cluster.  

And then Wilson and Smith add to the now expanded:

•    “November 16(x3), 17(x4), 18, 19, __, __, 22, __, __, __, 26/ Date Sequence” pattern

 And we also have a “January 8,..., 24, ..., 28/ Even Number Date Sequence” pattern-cluster.
