Rob Hiassen Hiatus (Part 2)

The Deaths in 2018 site has just now added a notable person under July 7:

John Dunlop, 78, British racehorse trainer

• John Leeper Dunlop (10 July 1939 – 7 July 2018) 

His birthday of July10 stands out, and not just because he died just 3 days before his birthday, butt because of something that concerns this excpert from my previous post:

• According to the Committee to Protect Journalists...

On venturing to the Committee’s wiki page, there’s a list of Journalists who were Board of Directors. In the list, one name stood out to me in particular, given that it contains my daughter in laws first name and my life partners surname, note the following info from the journalists wiki page:

• Amanda Bennett (born July 9, 1952)

And so we now have a “July 7, __, 9, 10/ Date Sequence” pattern-cluster.  It’s not that I totally ignored it, I had started it in a new draft... along with two other journalists in the list.  In order to limit my search I had investigated from the list only the individuals whose surnames are additions to the “Remove a Letter Makes a Word” pattern-cluster:

• Matthew Winkler, Bloomberg News (born June 1, 1955) (winker)
• Clarence Page (born June 2, 1947) (age)

And so we have a “June 1, 2, __/ Date Sequence” pattern-cluster... a prompt to investigate the June 3 wiki page.  Using the formula and taking into consideration the “one off” curve ball, we arrive at:  

• 2011 – James Arness (May 26, 1923 – June 3, 2011)American actor and producer 
• 2011 – Jack Kevorkian (May 26, 1928 – June 3, 2011) American pathologist, author, and activist 
• 1997 – Dennis James (August 24, 1917 – June 3, 1997) American actor and game show host

There were no notable persons listed under 1999 or 2000, and so that left us with the “one off” curve ball... and a bigg hit in 2011.  As you can see Arness and Kevorkian were born and died on the same day.  And Dennis’ birthday is “one off” from my granddaughters birthday, both of which are additions to a cluster in my previous post, expanding it into an :

•  “August 24, 25, 26, 27(x3), 29, 31/Uneven Day, Month Sequence” pattern-cluster

And finally we have to bridge the July 8th gap in the cluster further above.  Again using the formula and taking into consideration the “one off” curve ball we arrive at:

1999 – Pete Conrad, American captain, pilot, and astronaut (b. 1930)
2001 – John O'Shea, New Zealand director, producer, and screenwriter (b. 1920) (she/sea)

•  Charles "Pete" Conrad Jr. (June 2, 1930 – July 8, 1999)
• John Dempsey O'Shea (20 June 1920 – 8 July 2001) 

And so the cluster expands: “June 1, 2(x2), 3(x3)/ Date Sequence” pattern-cluster.  As for O’Shea’s birthday, it’s an addition to the “Off By One” pattern-cluster... as in one off from the date of this blogs birthday— June 19... the very first post to this blog is well worth the read!!
