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.

If it helps any, I had the same problem when I watched the RSVPs come in on the evite for my class reunion party, and it's only been ten years.

I've forgotten lots of names. And many more people are names without any memories attached.

And I have most certainly not pulled my yearbook out.

Wasn't it Duncan Thunder Ashcroft Levin?

It may have been, but "Thunder" is memorable. As is Venus.
