Today I realized that the birthday of my nephew, Nick is today, and the birthday of my son in law, Nick, is tomorrow. So we have a “Nick Birthday/April __, 16, 17/Date Sequence” pattern cluster. This is a prompt To bridge the gap. Venturing to the April 15 wiki page, we look for “Nick’s” born on this day:
- 1771 – Nicolas Chopin (15 April 1771 – 3 May 1844) French-Polish educator
- 1886 – Nikolay Gumilyov (April 15 [O.S. 3 April] 1886 – August 26, 1921) poet, critic
- 1894 – Nikita Khrushchev (15 April [O.S. 3 April] 1894 – 11 September 1971) 7th Premier of the Soviet Union
- 1907 – Nikolaas Tinbergen (15 April 1907 – 21 December 1988) Nobel Prize laureate
I would say that Nikita is our main man!! One of the notable persons who passed away yesterday on the 15th, had the middle name Nikolayevich… or Nick for short.
- Anatoly Kvochur, 71, Russian test pilot
- Anatoly Nikolayevich Kvochur (16 April 1952 – 15 April 2024)
It seems as though his birthday (today) is directing us to notable persons listed as passing away today. On perusing the list one in particular is meaningful… to me personally:
- Carl Erskine, 97, American baseball player (Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers), World Series champion (1955), pneumonia
- Carl Daniel Erskine (December 13, 1926 – April 16, 2024), nicknamed "Oisk",
My car accident of 2000 fell on his birthday!! And note his first name — and addition to the prolific “Remove a letter from Name Makes a Word” pattern cluster … as in “car”
