I can't remember names. I can have significant recall about people's lives, how many kids they have, their relative ages, interests, etc., but not names. Don't know why. I have had people I've worked with for years, and then a few years later I cannot remember their name at all. But, I can tell you about what happened at a lunch we went out to. Stuff like that.
