Operation Reassurance (Part 2: Stalker of the Seas)

Continuing on from my previous post, note this excerpt:
The helicopter had been reported to be returning to HMCS Fredericton
Fredericton is the capital city of New Brunswick, the neighbouring province where my parents are from.  My only living Aunt on my mothers side lived many years in Fredericton.  On investigating the notable persons mentioned on the Fredericton Wikipedia page, four stood out in particular: 
  • Prince Frederick (Frederick Augustus; 16 August 1763 – 5 January 1827) namesake
  • Walter John Learning (November 16, 1938 – January 5, 2020) 
  • Hugh John Flemming (January 5, 1899 – October 16, 1982) 24th Premier of NB.
  • Grady Thomas (born January 5, 1941)  band, Parliament
What they each have in common is that they generate a "January 5(x5)/Date Sequence" pattern cluster.  I included the birthday of my dog Bailey, also born on January 5.
