Something similar.
My wife went to Robert Gordon, a poly in 1963 now RG University.
Walking into a local garden centre a woman approach her and called her by her first name.
They last saw each other in around 1965. They then spent a short time chatting - probably around the same time they had spoken nearly 60 years ago as they had been in the same entry year but different courses/buildings but really only knew each other through common friends. She had lived all over UK & Europe but was now back in the UK visiting somebody local to us.
Recognising somebody after nearly 60 years and recalling a name!
I now forget the names of some I met fairly recently - I might know the first name/ surname. but recalling both is getting harder.
Before I retired 17 years ago I had roughly 30 customers and spoke regularly to 5/6 people in each site. I could recall most of the direct dial phone numbers (not Mobiles!).
How things have gone into reverse a combination of aging memory and ready access to phone numbers on a smartphone, you no longer need to remember - unless you mislay your phone.!
