The MacGregor's Dire Act (Part 7, Gray Matter)

Continuing on from my previous post, so how did “Gray” factor in a second time?!

While traveling from Prince Edward Island yesterday, we stopped at a Shopper’s Drug Mart to get some Tylenol for my 2 year old grandson who is cutting a big molar.  While there, the September issue of Reader’s Digest caught my eye, namely the subtitle: 25 Ways to REDUCE YOUR RISK OF DEMENTIA.  After all, dementia is a disease of the brain... aka “grey” matter.  I quickly perused all 25 ways, and proceeded to read the feature story: LOST, by Tom Hallman (journalist with the Oregonian).  Note this excerpt from the story:
Zachary Gray had been on 10 searches that year so far.  Nearly all had ended when a team found a body.  
So there you have it!!  The author’s name, Tom Hallman stands out given the cryptic “twin hall man”... enough to warrant further investigation.  Since he doesn’t have a wiki page, we turn to the news source he worked for.   Note from the Oregonian’s wiki page:
Co-worker Tom Hallman Jr. was a finalist for the 1999 Pulitzer Prize in Feature Writing, for his "unique profile of a man struggling to recover from a brain injury"
So brain crops up again... a “Grey Matter/Brain Disorder Theme” pattern cluster.   Note the following information regarding the Oregonian’s founder:
Thomas Jefferson Dryer (January 8, 1808 – March 30, 1879) 
My step son, Gillman Payette, was born on his birthday!!  An addition to the “Targeting Family Birthdays” pattern cluster.    It’s interesting that his birthday should crop up again, especially in light of the fact that his mother is visiting him on an “emergency”... and yes, the emergency involves problems with his brain (at the moment).  It’s not necessary for me to go into detail, except to say that if you have been following this blog... then you understand already some of the problems that his mother and I have had with him.

On the September 2019 Reader’s Digest cover, there is another article worth reading: Could You Be a Psychopath? Maybe! ., by Mark E. Olver, researcher on criminal behaviour.  Note the name Mark Olver is also an addition to the “Remove a Letter Makes a Word” pattern cluster... hence making “mar ark over”.  

It’s interesting... and strategic, that Dryer’s first and middle name is the same as a US President... who I mention in this blogs Header:
  • 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
And no, it wasn’t coincidence that 3 Presidents died on US Independence Day!!!
