My thoughts:
These events are all from the year 1955 (thank you wikipedia):
Einstein dies on April 18 at the age of 76.
James Dean achieves success with East of Eden and Rebel Without a Cause, gets nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor, and dies in a car accident on September 30.
Brooklyn's got a winning team - Brooklyn dodgers win the world series
Davy Crockett the television series launches
Peter Pan is broadcasted on TV live in color
Elvis Presly signs with RCA records
Disneyland opens on July17th
"Brooklyn's got a winning team" and "Disneyland" were left out, they may be significant
Billy Joel could have something to do with the user being targeted, (and also possibly the assassinator) I'm new to this forum, are there any big Billy Joel fans here?
