Remembering names/people

[redbird]

I'm seeing lots of emails about my 25th high school reunion (and have sent a couple). The names on the messages are ranging from "I'd like to see her" (including someone who was in the class after mine, but I think graduated early) through curiosity to remembering only the name [how do you forget the name "Thunder Levin"?] to "okay, have I just forgotten someone, or is this a name change, possibly related to marriage?" 130 of us, 25 years, forgetting some is to be expected.

I find myself very hesitant to get out the yearbook and try to place names.
