how much do you remember?

[keryx]

I was very pleased with myself for recognizing my new aikido instructor as someone I vaguely knew in 1988. Until I realized I'd mistaken him for his brother. And then forgot the names of half the people I hung out with in 1988.

It made me wonder how far back others' memories and friendships reach. So. How far back do yours go?

I'm not really in touch with anyone I knew more than 10 years ago. However, I remember the first, last, and middle names, birthdays and other obscure details of many people I went to middle school with, even some who weren't friends of mine, if they're people I had a lot of classes with.

I remember some people's phone numbers, but not their last names.
