Applebaum

Continuing on from my previous post, only one other month begins with “A” and that’s August, so this investigation turns now to the “August 3” wiki page.  Once again using the formula and taking into consideration the “one off” curve ball we arrive at :

• 1998 – Alfred Schnittke (November 24, 1934 – August 3, 1998) composer, journalist 
• 1999 – Rod Ansell (1 October 1954 – 3 August 1999)  hunter 
• 1999 – Byron Farwell (20 June 1921 in Manchester, Iowa – 3 August 1999 in Purcellville, Virginia) historian, author 
• 2000 – Joann Lõssov (September 10, 1921 – August 3, 2000 in Tallinn)  basketball player, coach 
• 2001 – Christopher Michael Hewett (5 April 1921 – 3 August 2001) actor, dir

And Lossov is obviously our main man—  his surname contains a cryptic “loss of”, and his birthday is an addition to the “Off By One” pattern-cluster.... AND we also have a “September __, 10, 11, __/ Date Sequence” pattern-cluster.  And there’s Farwell (note the “far well”... as in “far from being well”), his birthday is “one off” from the June 19 anniversary of this blog. Finally we have Hewett’s birthday that generates an “April 3, __, 5/ Date Sequence” pattern-cluster.  Using the formula as per usual and taking into consideration the “one off” curve ball we arrive at:

• 1997 – Leo Picard (3 June 1900 – 4 April 1997) geologist 
• 1997 – Alparslan Türkeş (25 November 1917 – 4 April 1997) 39th Deputy Prime Minister of Turkey 
• 1999 – Lucille Lortel (December 16, 1900 – April 4, 1999) actress, producer 
• 1999 – Early Wynn (January 6, 1920 – April 4, 1999) baseball player 
• 2001 – Liisi Oterma (6 January 1915 – 4 April 2001) astronomer  
• 2001 – Ed Roth (March 4, 1932 – April 4, 2001) illustrator, engineer 
• 2001 – Maury Van Vliet (August 3, 1913 – April 4, 2001) academic 

I did include a few others that still fit into the “one off” curve ball, although not as per usual.  I sometimes stretch outside the box when a name catches my eye— as did “Leo” (research Leo in this blog to find out why it connects to Megan MacGregor).  And as you can see, each of the dates  “fit”.  Two were born on January 6... one day off from my dog’s January 5 birthday; December 16 together with the birthday of my two sisters generates a “December 14, 16, 18/ Even Number Date Sequence” pattern-cluster.; also in the works is a “__, November 24, 25, __/ Date Sequnce” pattern-cluster.

And Applebaum’s April 3 birthday connects with the following excerpt from yesterdays post, &&&&&&& Days in May:

All the Presidents Men (film) : Howard Simons (June 3, 1929 - June 13, 1989) 

Howard Simons birthday generates an “April 3, __, June 3(x2), __, August 3(x2)/ 3rd Day, Month Sequence” pattern-cluster.

Finally, note the name of the first notable person mentioned on Applebaum’s wiki page: Leo, and now note from his wiki page:

 Leo Smith (26 November 1881 – 18 April 1952) 

And so the cluster expands:

 “ November 24, 25, 26/ Date Sequnce” pattern-cluster.  

Note the following info on another notable person mentioned on Applebaum’s wiki page:  

•  Ann Ronell (December 25, 1905 — December 25, 1993) 

It’s interesting to also note that our Prime Minister here in Canada, Justin’s Trudeau and his brother celebrate their birthdays on December 25, exactly 2 years apart.  

He was nominated, along with co-composer Ann Ronell, for an Academy Award for the score of the 1945 war film, The Story of G.I. Joe.
