Pearce the Dark

The Deaths in 2018 site lists under September 3:
Jacqueline Pearce (20 December 1943 – 3 September 2018)74, British actress (Blake's 7Dark SeasonDoctor Who), lung cancer
Her surname is an addition to the “Remove a Letter Makes a Word” pattern-cluster... as in remove the “r” makes “peace”.   A fellow actor in “Blake’s 7”,  Brian Croucher, shares a common ground in that when the first “r” is removed from his surname it too makes a word— coucher.... from crouched to coucher... aka “peace”, and so a new .... more specific cluster emerges: “Remove an “r” Makes a Word” pattern-cluster.  Since we have two surnames that generate the cluster, we’ll keep our eyes open for a 3rd or more (as per the inner twin world dendency for generating clusters in groups of 3 or more).  Note from Croucher’s wiki page:
Brian Croucher (born 23 January 1942)
His birthday stands out big time... note from my previous post:
  • Mario Facco (23 January 1946 – 31 August 2018) 
  • Silvano "Nano" Campeggi (January 23, 1923 – August 29, 2018) 
  • Riziero "RizOrtolani (25 March 1926 – 23 January 2014)  
My grandsons birthday is January 23, a date that’s cropped up a number of times over the last few days  
On perusing the Blake’s 7 wiki page, investigating all notable persons mentioned (research included below) another stands out:
  • Eric Arthur Blair (25 June 1903 – 21 January 1950) 
His date of death, January 21, is the birthday of my daughter  (grandson’s mother).  And his surname is also an addition to the  “Remove a Letter Makes a Word” pattern-cluster... as in remove the “B” makes “lair”, note the etymology:
  • Lair :... place of lying down; bed, couch; illness; the grave," 
And so now we have a: “January 21(x2), __, 23(x2)/ Date Sequence” pattern-cluster.  Bridging the gap using the formula we arrive at:
  • 2000  Craig Claiborne (September 4, 1920 – January 22, 2000) American journalist, author, and critic 
His birthday is TODAY!!  An addition to the “Timely” pattern-cluster.  And now note the following information on Blake’s 7 music composer, Dudley Simpson:
  • Dudley George Simpson (4 October 1922 – 4 November 2017) 
And so we now have a “September 4, October 4, November 4/ 4th Day, Month Sequence” pattern-cluster.  

Two other notable persons mentioned on the Blake’s 7 wiki page stands out:
  • Emiliano Zapata Salazar (8 August 1879 – 10 April 1919) 
  • Terence Joseph Nation (8 August 1930 – 9 March 1997)
Not only are they born on the same day, butt August 8th is the birthday of my exhusband.  AND their date of death generates a “__, March 9, April 10, __/ Date Sequence” pattern- cluster.  Bridging the February 8 gap we arrive at:
  • 2000 – Sid Abel (February 22, 1918 – February 8, 2000) Canadian-American ice hockey player, coach, and sportscaster 
His birthday is the same as my other grandson’s ... who when he turns 8 the date will be 2/22/22.  This is another date that’s cropped up a number of times in recent posts.  
Note the following info regarding Sid’s brother:

  •  George Gordon Abel (February 23, 1916 – April 16, 1996) 
His birthday is one off from his brothers.

 Even though there are a number of other clusters generated but he dates of birth and/or deaths of notable persons found on the Blake’s 7 wiki page, I’ll deal with just one more:
  • Arjen Anthony Lucassen (born 3 April 1960)
  • Michael Praed (born 1 April 1960) Michael David Prince
First of all we have an addition to the recent “Michael Theme” pattern-cluster, and then their birthdays generate an “April 1,__, 3/ Date Sequence” pattern-cluster.   Bridging the April 2 gap using the formula ... and because there were no notable deaths listed in either 1999 or 2000 on April 2, I perused the list, and just below one name catches my eye—Edwin Starr.  His surname is an addition to the “Remove an “r” Makes a Word” pattern-cluster... hence making “star”!!   Note from his wiki page:

  • 2003 – Edwin Starr (born Charles Edwin Hatcher  January 21, 1942 – April 2, 2003) American singer-songwriter 
Again, My daughters birthday crops up hence generating a “January 21(x3)” pattern-cluster.
