Neel = Kneel

Between November 8–14, note the following information regarding notable persons who recently passed away: 

• John Robinson (July 25, 1935 – November 11, 2024)  89, American football coach 
• Miodrag Kostić (25 August 1959 – 13 November 2024)
• Jerry Mumford Patterson (October 25, 1934 – Nov 8, 2024)  90,  U.S. House of Representatives 
• Harischandra Devram Chavan (25 December 1951 – 14 November 2024) Indian Politician
• Papa Noël Nedule(25 December 1940 – 11 November 2024) 83, guitarist
• Ram Narayan (25 December 1927 – 9 November 2024) 96, sarangi player

Not only were they born on the 25th day, all but July 25th are meaningful days, two to me personally — august 25 is the birthday of my granddaughter and October 25 the birthday of three of my ex partners family members; and December 25 goes without saying.  Another 25th day that’s particularly meaningful to me is June 25– pattern-clusters surrounding the death of Michael Jackson just before he passed away on June 25, which is the subject matter of the first post in this blog.  

Since the December 25 notable deaths stands out, with three occurring within 5 days, we’re intended to consider this a lead.  Venturing to the December 25 wiki page, using the formula as per usual and taking into consideration the “Off By One” pattern cluster,  we arrive at: 

• 1998 – John Pulman (12 December 1923 – 25 December 1998) snooker player
• 2000 – Neil Hawke (27 June 1939 – 25 December 2000) cricketer, footballer 
• 2000 – Willard Van Orman Quine (June 25, 1908 – December 25, 2000) philosopher
• 2001 – Alfred A. Tomatis (1 January 1920 – 25 December 2001) otolaryngologist 

First of all, note that “Hawke” is an addition to the “Remove a Letter Makes a Word” pattern cluster… as in “hawk” that in turn is an addition to the recent “Bird/Flight Theme” pattern cluster.  Do note the June 25th birthday of Quine!!  We also have a “June __, 25, 27/uneven Day, Date Sequence” pattern cluster in the works.  I chose to place the gap in the June 23rd position instead of the 29th, because the 23rd day is meaningful to me personally— my mother was born on November 23 and passed away on July 23, and on of my grandson’s is born January 23.  On the June 23 wiki page using the formula as per usual, we arrive at three from the notable Deaths section and three from the notable Births section: 

• 1998 – Maureen O'Sullivan, (May 17, 1911 – June 23, 1998) actress 
• 2000 – Peter Dubovský (7 May 1972 – 23 June 2000) footballer
• 2002 – Pedro Alcázar (16 September 1975 – 24 June 2002)boxer

• 1884 – Cyclone Taylor (June 23, 1884 – June 9, 1979) hockey player, politician 
• 1888 – Bronson M. Cutting (June 23, 1888 – May 6, 1935) publisher, politician
• 1889 – Anna Akhmatova (23 June [O.S. 11 June] 1889 – 5 March 1966) poet, author 

With the names Peter and Pedro cropping up, … and given the “Bird” theme as of late, I’m reminded of our very first family pet — a green and yellow budgy bird we named “Peter”.  We now have a “May 6, 7, __, … 17/Date Sequence” pattern cluster.  Bridging the May 8 gap using the formula and taking into consideration the “Off by One” pattern cluster, we arrive at 10 individuals all from the Deaths section, five of whom are contenders given their relevant dates that I’ve included and highlighted below:  

• 1998 – Johannes Kotkas, Estonian wrestler (b. 1915)
• 1998 – Charles Rebozo (November 17, 1912 – May 8, 1998)banker 
• 1999 – Dirk Bogarde, English actor and screenwriter (b. 1921)
• 1999 – Ed Gilbert (June 29, 1931 – May 8, 1999) American actor 
• 1999 – Dana Plato (November 7, 1964 – May 8, 1999) American actress (b. 1964)
• 1999 – Soeman Hs, Indonesian author and educator (b. 1904)
• 2000 – Pita Amor (May 30, 1918 – May 8, 2000) Mexican poet and author (b. 1918)
• 2000 – Dédé Fortin (17 November 1962 – 8 May 2000) singer-songwriter, guitarist 
• 2000 – Henry Nicols, American activist (b. 1973)
• 2003 – Elvira Pagã, Brazilian vedette, singer, and artist (b. 1920)

As you can see, Gilbert born on June 29th expands our present cluster into a

“June 23, 25, 27, 29/uneven Day, Date Sequence” pattern cluster

As well, note the two born on November 17th— Tomorrow is November 17!!  So we have an addition to the “Timely” and “Off by One” pattern clusters and a “November 17(x2) pattern cluster.  We are now prompted to the November 17 wiki page… arriving at the intended group from the notable deaths section: 

• 1998 – Kea Bouman (23 November 1903 – 17 November 1998)tennis player 
• 1998 – Esther Rolle (November 8, 1920 – November 17, 1998)actress 
• 2000 – Louis Néel (22 November 1904 – 17 November 2000) Nobel Prize laureate 
• 2001 – Michael Karoli, German guitarist and songwriter (b. 1948)
• 2001 – Harrison A. Williams (December 10, 1919 – November 17, 2001)politician 

And one from the November 17 notable events section: 

• 2000 – Alberto Fujimori is removed from office as president of Peru.
• Alberto Kenya Fujimori Inomoto^[b] (26 July 1938 – 11 September 2024)

You may recall my stating above that my mother’s birthday is November 23.  So we now have a “November 7, 8,__, …, 17(x3), … __, 22, 23(x2)/ Date Sequence” pattern cluster in the works.  Also, September 11 (aka 9/11) cropping up yet again is meaningful given the following recent additions to the Deaths in 2024 site: 

• Theodore Olson (September 11, 1940 – November 13, 2024)  84, U.S. solicitor general 
• Kianush Sanjari (11 September 1982 – 13 November 2024) 42, journalist, activist 
• Radivoje Krivokapić (11 September 1953 – 12 November 2024) 71,handball, Olympics

I’ll stop with that, butt there is plenty more for you to continue on with. Don’t forget to consider the cryptic communication in the above names ie: Neel=kneel. Before ending this blog I decided to venture back to Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2024 site to check for new additions under todays date, and found: Olav Thon, (29 June 1923 – 16 November 2024) 101, Norwegian businessman and philanthropist.  And so the cluster expands into a “June 23, 25, 27, 29(x2)/uneven Day, Date Sequence” pattern cluster
