All The Presidents Men Of Gold (Part 68)

Continuing on, note from my previous post :

• “February 6, __, 10, 12(x2), 14, 16(x2), ..., 22(x3) / Even Day, Date Sequence” pattern-cluster

• 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

Since single gaps are open game— the dates can be investigated using the formula, we should choose “the one”... not hard when considering two are February 8!!  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 (b. 1918)

And then we have to consider the “one off” curve ball that bring us to:

• 1998 – Halldór Laxness (23 April 1902 – 8 February 1998) Nobel Prize laureate 
• 1998 – Enoch Powell (16 June 1912 – 8 February 1998) English soldier and politician, Secretary of State for Health (b. 1912)
• 1998 – Julian Simon (February 12, 1932 – February 8, 1998) economist, author 

Two  expand the above cluster:

• “February 6, 8(x2), 10, 12(x3), 14, 16(x2), ..., 22(x4) / Even Day, Date Sequence” pattern-cluster

There is definitely something they want us to get concerning February 22.  What comes to mind is this blog Header ... one that concerns 3 US Presidents and Cartoons:

On July 4th, 3 Of the first "5" US Presidents had died: Jefferson "5" hours before Adams, and Monroe "5" years later on the "55th" Independence Day. The Producer, Director and Writer of Warner Brothers. animated cartoon "My Little Duckaroo" died on February 22nd: Jones in 2002; Selzer In 1970, Maltese in 1981. In a little over "5" years from now the anniversary of their death is 2/22/22,

Note from “My Little Duckeroo” wiki page, to verify the dates:  

• produced by Edward Selzer, directed by Chuck Jones and written by Michael Maltese

And now to follow the “duck” lead.  The number 7 shares the same key on my keyboard as the & symbol.  I’ve often claimed in this blog that the symbol looks like a simple line drawing of a duck and that this is a strategic design influence.  So venturing to the 7/7 wiki page note the following notable event occurring in 1777:

• 1777 – American forces retreating from Fort Ticonderoga are defeated in the Battle of Hubbardton.

On the Battle’s wiki page, one of the  Commanders stands out:

• Nathan Hale (September 23, 1743 – September 23, 1780) 

He died on his birthday, and both are additions found in my post yesterday (part 66):

• “January 23(x2), __,  May 23, July 23, September 23(x2) , November 23/ 23 Day, Every Other Month Sequence” pattern-cluster. 

I included May 23 since its the day of the year with 222 days remaining.  One thing that strikes me about the surname Hale is that it’s also a word ... and it’s phonetically identical to “hail”.  Hmmm, like Hair/heir/hare ... and so bringing us to a recent notable death:

 Galt MacDermot, 89, Canadian-American composer (Hair, Two Gentlemen of Verona) and pianist.

• Arthur Terence Galt MacDermot (December 18, 1928 – December 17, 2018) 

Note from the Hair wiki page:

 Hair: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical is a rock musical with a book and lyrics by Gerome Ragni and James Rado and music by Galt MacDermot. 

• Gerome Ragni (September 11, 1935 – July 10, 1991)
• James Rado ( January 23, 1932) 

Well, the first date speaks volumes!!!  And the second :

• “January 23(x2), __,  May 23, July 23, September 23(x2) , November 23/ 23 Day, Every Other Month Sequence” pattern-cluster.
