All The Presidents Men Of Gold (Part 67)

Continuing on from my previous post, the “Even Day February cluster” is strategically designed as a prompt for us to investigate February 10.  Using the formula as per usual we arrive at:

• 2000 – Jim Varney (June 15, 1949 – February 10, 2000) American actor, comedian and writer 

His birthday is an addition to the “Off By One” pattern-cluster... as in “one off” from President Trump’s birthday.   So “one off” from Jim Varney in the list we arrive at:

• Abraham David "Abe" Beame (March 20, 1906 – February 10, 2001)
• George Holmes "Buddy" Tate (February 22, 1913 – February 10, 2001)

Venturing back to my previous post you’ll see that Tate’s birthday stands out— February 22nd having  cropped up... and it being the birthday of one of my two grandsons.   His middle  name also stands out— an addition to the “Remove a Letter Makes a Word” pattern-cluster... as in remove the “l” makes “HOMES”— a very meaningful word!!  The cluster of my previous post expands now into a:

• “February 6, ..., 12(x2), 14, 16(x2), ..., 22(x3) / Even Day, Date Sequence” pattern-cluster

A cluster of 3 within the larger cluster!!   I did venture down to the one who passed away in 2011... and then another who just stood out

• Trevor Edward Bailey  (3 December 1923 – 10 February 2011)
• William Watts "Buck" Biggers (June 2, 1927 – February 10, 2013) 

Their names speak volumes anyway!!

Since Tate is obviouslyour man, lets investigate the etymology of the surname:

•  Tate: glad/cheerful

Note the following info regarding notable persons mentioned on Tate’s wiki page:

• Andrew Dewey Kirk (May 28, 1898 – December 11, 1992)

The most important cluster expanded:

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