Time To Bloom

Continuing from my previous post, and because April 5 (3 born on this day) cropped up 4 times,  I consider this a prompt to investigate the April 5 wiki page, looking specifically for any born on April 5 who passed away during a year having 3 identical numbers at the end.  And so we arrive at:

• 1906 – Albert Charles Smith (April 5, 1906 – May 23, 1999)   botanist 
• 1912 – Jehan Buhan (April 5, 1912 – September 14, 1999) fencer 
• 1912 – Carlos Guastavino (5 April 1912 – 28 October 2000) composer
• 1934 – Stanley Turrentine (April 5, 1934 – September 12, 2000) saxophonist, composer 

 Smith died on the day of the year where 222 days remain... a particular inner twin trade mark signature... so we’re on the “wright” track.  Using the formula we arrive at two notable persons, butt one in particular stood out:

• 1999 – Benjamin Bloom (February 21, 1913 – September 13, 1999) American psychologist and academic 

Hmmm, Ben (time) Bloom... “time to bloom”!!  AND, is surname stood out given the following recent additions to the Deaths in 2019 site:

• Harold Bloom (July 11, 1930 – October 14, 2019) 89, American literary critic and writer (The Anxiety of Influence, The Western Canon: The Books and School of the Ages).

• Woodie Flowers (died October 12, 2019) 76, American mechanical engineering professor (Massachusetts Institute of Technology).

A “Bloom/Flower Theme” pattern cluster now in the works.  His birthday is an addition to the “Off By One” pattern cluster... as in one off from my grandson’s birthday (when he turns 8 the date will be 2/22/22).  The other notable person as per the formula is: 

• 2000 – Betty Jeffrey (14 May 1908 – 13 September 2000)Australian nurse and author 

We can also now have the “one off” curve ball that’s come into play, and so we arrive at:

• 2001 – Johnny Craig (April 25, 1926 – Sept 13, 2001) illustrator 
• 2001 – Jaroslav Drobný (12 October 1921 - 13 Sept 2001) hockey/ tennis player 
• 2001 – Dorothy McGuire (June 14, 1916 – September 13, 2001) actress
• 1998 – Necdet Calp (September 7, 1922  – September 13, 1998 ) politician 
• 1998 – Harry Lumley (November 11, 1926 – September 13, 1998) hockey player
• 1998 – Frank Renouf (31 July 1918 – 13 September 1998) businessman 
• 1998 – George Wallace (August 25, 1919 – Sept 13, 1998) 45th Gov of Alabama 

Several things can be taken from the above info.  August 25 is my granddaughter’s birthday;  June 14 is also the birthday of US President Trump; Woodie Flowers died on Jaroslav’s birthday...
