1-2-3 Hee Foo Mee, Fe, Fi, Fo, Fum, Phooey (Renee Good Part 12)

Oriental Poppies
by Georgia O'Keeffe
influenced by her husband Alfred Stieglitz

The following notable person recently added to Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2025 site stands out:

• Hifumi Katō, 86 (January 1, 1940 – January 22, 2026)

His birthday is what stands out, note from my recent January 18 post, A Call to BLOOM (Renee Good Part 10) UPDATED Jan 19: 

• Terrance Donnell “Chet” Brooks (January 1, 1966 – January 17, 2026) 
• François Bazaramba (1 January 1951 – 16 January 2026) 
• Imam Abdullahi Abubakar (1 January 1936 – 15 January 2026
• Rafael Sergeyevich Gvaladze (1 January 1948 – 15 January 
• Muhammad Yousuf (1 January 1952 – 19 January 2026)

So within the last 8 days, 6 notable persons listed on Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2026 site were also born on January 1st!! Definitely beating the “audds”…, and so a twin heads upp!!  My sense is that we’re being directed back to the January 1, 2026 list of notable deaths… perhaps something missed?!  On perusing the list once again, the following 4 persons stood out: 

 Arno Liiver (11 October 1954 – 1 January 2026)  71, actor (Spring, Summer, Autumn).

 Colin McDonald (15 October 1930 – 1 January 2026)  95, footballer (national team).

Gregory de Polnay (17 October 1943 – 1 January 2026) 82, English actor (Dixon of Dock Green, Doctor Who, Howards' Way)

Mukhsin Mukhamadiev (21 October 1966 – 1 January 2026) 59, football player (Tajikistan national team, Russia national team)

As you can see, we have an  “October 11, __, 15, 17, __, 21 /Odd Day Sequence in October” pattern cluster.  AND, note from my previous post, Message for … ROB….?!: 

• Robert Parke Cameron (October 15, 1920– March 12, 2012)
• Mayhew, Hon. Robert Wellington (October 13, 1880 – July 28, 1971) 

And so the cluster expands: “October 11, 13, 15(x2), 17, __, 21 /Odd Day Sequence in October” pattern cluster.  I had note the small cluster occurring yesterday and so had highlighted the dates, butt I didn’t mention it as a cluster yet, because the gap (intended third) could either be an “audd” number (October 11 or 17), or could be the even “October 14”.  So now we know.  

The following others on the January 1st list  stood out: 

• Yvan Aumont (19 May 1938 – 1 January 2026)  87, French engineer and journalist (Lys rouge)
• Diane Crump (May 18, 1948 – January 1, 2026)  77, American jockey and horse trainer
• Hessy Levinsons Taft (17 May 1934 – 1 January 2026) 91, German chemist, child model 
• James Grauerholz (December 14, 1952 – January 1, 2026)  72, American writer, pneumonia
• Arnold Long (18 December 1940 – 1 January 2026)  85, cricketer  aren’t old long
• Stuart Altman (August 8, 1937 – January 1, 2026)  88, American economist
• Hélio Mauro (19 June 1942 – 1 January 2026)  83, deputy , mayor of Goiânia

As you can see, we have another cluster in the works “May 16, 17, 18, 19/Date Sequence” pattern cluster.  I included May 16– Rob MacGregor’s birthday.  So, a cryptic finger is still lingering in his direction whether he likes it or not!! Note as well that the surname Crump, via the “Exchange Letter in Name Makes a Word” pattern cluster, makes “Trump”!!  The birthdays of Grauerhoz and Long are the birthdays of my two sisters as well, so two additions to the “Targeting Family Birthdays” pattern cluster. Altman’s birthday is also the birthday of my exhusband ; and Maura’s birthday is also the birthday of this blog… the first post that also features Rob MacGregor!!  

Also standing out is the above Gregory de Polnay given that his first name (minus the “y”),  is connected in cryptic fashion to Rob MacGregor. Note from Polnay’s wiki page:

De Polnay's credits include: Space: 1999, Doctor Who (the serial The Robots of Death)

His first and middle name, Gregory Peter, contains a cryptic “great gory pet eater”.  As for his surname, AI provides a list of potential original meanings, this one stands out:

Pola: A name meaning "poppy" or related to the god Apollo

So I googled “Apollo’s Poppy”, and AI provided: 

Frances "Poppy" Northcutt (born August 10, 1943) is an American engineer and attorney who began her career as a computer operator and was later a member of the technical staff of NASA's Apollo program during the Space Race. During the Apollo 8mission she became the first female engineer to work in NASA's Mission Control.

She was born on the day of the year where 222 days remain!!!   Her names provides us with a cryptic “frank/truth poppy north cut cut”!! 

 Note from the Apollo 8 wiki page:  

Apollo 8 (December 21–27, 1968) The three astronauts—Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and William Anders—were the first humans to see and photograph the far side of the Moon and an Earthrise.

Note from the 3 astronauts wiki pages:  

• Frank Frederick Borman II (March 14, 1928 – November 7, 2023)
• James Arthur Lovell Jr. (March 25, 1928 – August 7, 2025)
• William Alison Anders (17 October 1933 – 7 June 2024) 

OKAY,… I was wondering if the MacGregor better half would come onto the scene, and there she blows— Anders passed away on Trish MacGregor’s birthday!! My recent posts provides proof of both Rob and Trish MacGregor’s birthdays.  As well, we have an “August 7, 8, __, 10/Date Sequence” pattern cluster, and a “June 7, __, August 7, …, November 7/ 7th Day/Month Sequence” pattern cluster.    

Given that we have another addition to the “Poppy/Flowers” pattern cluster, I thought it would be most fitting to use Georgia Okeef’s famous painting. On the Oriental Poppies wiki page, where the painting  is highlighted, it states the following: 

Making close-ups of flowers is said to have been influenced by her husband Alfred Stieglitz, a photographer, after they began a more sexual relationship

Note from Georgia and Alfred’s wiki pages:  

• Georgia Totto O'Keeffe (November 15, 1887 – March 6, 1986)
• Alfred Stieglitz (January 1, 1864 – July 13, 1946)

Do note Alfred’s birthday… coming full circle, we have yet another January 1st!!!  It’s also interesting to note that the Oriental Poppy of the red/orange colour painted by Georgia O’Keeffe are often referred to as the “Harvest Moon Poppy”.  I think Poppy Northcutt would like this Poppy too!!  

Georgia O’Keeffe painted other shades of Poppy: 

One final thing, because Hee Foo Mee (aka Hifumi) reminded me of Fee Fi fo fum (jack in the bean stalk giant chant), I considered that a lead and so investigated, note the following: 

Fe, Fi, Fo, Fum, and Phooey were five mice who traveled to the Moon and circled it 75 times on the 1972 Apollo 17 mission. 

Fe, Fi, Fo, Fum.
I smell the blood of an Englishman,
Be he living, or be he dead,
I’ll grind his bones to mix my bread
