All The Presidents WoMen Of Gold (Part 144)

On reading the MacGregor’s February 4th post that celebrates their blogs anniversary, I decided to go back and read their very first post: The Deeper Meaning of Things, posted 

It was a comment to the post that caught my eye, the one from whipwarrior :
Keep in mind that Thomas means “twin” in origin.
The MacGregor’s February 4, 2009 post makes reference to what they call a synchronicity, butt is in fact a “pattern cluster” involving sign language,  So this is a prompt to venture to the Sign Language wiki page and investigate the notable persons mentioned who have wiki pages with date of birth and/or death recorded.  Note the first one:
  • John Bulwer (baptised 16 May 1606 – 16 October 1656
It’s just that Rob MacGregor’s birthday is May 16... easy enough to verify, simply key in Happy Birthday Rob in their blogs search box.  Here are the others:
  • Charles-Michel de l'Épée (24 November 1712 – 23 December 1789)
  • Louis Laurent Marie Clerc (26 December 1785 – 18 July 1869)
  • Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet (December 10, 1787 – September 10, 1851)
  • Edward Miner Gallaudet (February 5, 1837 – September 26, 1917)
  • Roger William Brown (April 14, 1925 – December 11, 1997),
  • Dr. Paddy Ladd (February 11, 1952)
  • Washoe c. (September 1965 – October 30, 2007) Chimpanzee
  • Nim Chimpsky (November 19, 1973 – March 10, 2000) Chimpanzee
  • Loulis (born May 10, 1978) Chimpanzee
  • Hanabiko "Koko" (July 4, 1971 – June 19, 2018) gorilla 
  • Michael (March 17, 1973 – April 19, 2000) gorilla
The most meaningful being Koko who was born on July 4, AND who died on the anniversary of this blog!!   And since I play a part, I’ll bring in my thoughts into the equation... namely blind and deaf,  Helen Keller , who btw had cropped up in the MacGregors recent January post, The Playbook: Note the following info from the notable persons mentioned on her wiki page:

  • Helen Adams Keller (June 27, 1880 – June 1, 1968) 
  • Johanna Mansfield Sullivan Macy (April 14, 1866 – October 20, 1936) 
  • Charles William Adams (August 16, 1817 – September 9, 1878)grandfather
  • Charles John Huffam Dickens (7 February 1812 – 9 June 1870) 
  • Laura Dewey Lynn Bridgman (December 21, 1829 – May 24, 1889)

  • Sarah Fuller (February 15, 1836 – August 1, 1927)
  • Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835 – April 21, 1910)
  • Wilhelm Jerusalem (October 11, 1854 – July 15, 1923
  • Henry Huttleston ("H. H.") Rogers (January 29, 1840 – May 19, 1909)
  • Polly Thomson (February 20, 1885[27] – March 21, 1960)
  • Thomas Woodrow Wilson (December 28, 1856 – February 3, 1924) 28th president 
  • Stephen Grover Cleveland (March 18, 1837 – June 24, 1908) 22nd and 24th president
  • Lyndon Baines Johnson (August 27, 1908 – January 22, 1973) 36th president 
  • Sir Charles Spencer Chaplin  (16 April 1889 – 25 December 1977) 
  • Eugene Victor Debs (November 5, 1855 – October 20, 1926)
  • Henry George (September 2, 1839 – October 29, 1897) 
  • Phillips Brooks (December 13, 1835 – January 23, 1893) 
  • Emanuel Swedenborg (29 January 1688 – 29 March 1772)[
  • Katharine Cornell (February 16, 1893 – June 9, 1974) 
  • William Gibson (November 13, 1914 – November 25, 2008)

  • Anna Marie "PattyDuke (December 14, 1946 – March 29, 2016) 
  • Kushalnagar Krishnaswamy Srinivasan (20 March 1925 – 10 July 2009) 
  • Jabez Lamar Monroe Curry (June 5, 1825 – February 12, 1903)
  • Anna Maria Louisa Italiano[1] (September 17, 1931 – June 6, 2005)
Keep in mind that TODAy is Katherine Cornells birthday, and Sarah Fuller’s birthday was YESTERDAY.  So two additions to the “Timely” pattern cluster.  I decided to investigate the related films, specifically looking for February’s or other dates that stand out:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Miracle_Worker_(1962_film)
Andrew Lewis Prine (born February 14 , 1936Victor Jory (November 23, 1902 – February 12, 1982) 
 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Miracle_Worker_(1979_film)
William Leon Goldenberg (born February 10, 1936Anne Seymour (September 11, 1909 – December 8, 1988)Titos Vandis ( 7 November 1917 – 23 February 2003) 
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deliverance_(1919_film)
Betty Schade (27 March 1895 – 27 March 1982) 
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Keller_in_Her_Story:
Nancy Hamilton (July 27, 1908 - February 18, 1985) 
Martha Graham (May 11, 1894 – April 1, 1991) 
Release date
June 15, 1954
And so we have a “February 3,  5, ..., 7, ..., 10, 11, 12(x2), __, 14, 15, 16(x2),__, 18 , __, 20,  __, 22(x2), 23 / Date Sequence” pattern-cluster.  I included two February 22nds— the birthday of the first of my two grandson’s and the birthday of the first US President... who was a red head— George Washington.
