The 6 of Spades coordinate

Charlie Hickcox was born February 6 (1947-02-06). Month 2 and day 6 give solar value 45, which is the 6 of Spades (The Responsible Mind). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1947 is unused. The 6 of Spades does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Charlie Hickcox for United States. Quoted system copy for the 6 of Spades, not a biography of Charlie Hickcox: You use what you have already walked through without requiring anyone else to be in pain for it to count. You feel responsibility for helping others think clearly. You're the teacher, the counselor, the one people ask for perspective. Your mind is oriented toward truth and guidance.

Charlie Hickcox in the public record

Hickcox was born in Phoenix, Arizona on February 6, 1947 to John Cole Hickcox Sr. and Mary Jane Shartel Hickcox. Four of his siblings competed in swimming during their High School years. Charlie attended Washington High School in greater Phoenix where he was an accomplished student with a rank of 30th in his Senior class of just under 500. He was on the varsity tennis team in his Junior year, and made the basketball team in his Senior year. In his last year at Washington High, he served as a Senior Class President, and was Key Club Vice President. He began competitive swimming in earnest around 1961, where he mentioned he was coached by Dick Suenning, though no other sources besides the Arizona Republic list Suenning as a coach. Hickcox set a state high school record in the 100-meter butterfly of 1:00.07 at the Saguaro Invitational in May, 1965. His summer training regiment included a practice session of around 3.5 hours, with winter training of around 1.5 hours daily.
