Can you remember every old classmates?

I was just thinking about this the other day. I didn't go to my highschool reunion because I haven't kept in touch with anyone from there and I know I wouldn't remember many faces, let alone names! I'm terrible at remembering people anyway. Most of my highschool memories are pretty blurry already, I could name maybe 25-40 of my classmates from my senior year (there were over 600 in my graduating class).

Lol, I'm only 2 years removed from high school and I can barely remember one or two people from my classes. I would probably be able to recognize them if I saw them, but I wouldn't remember if they were in my classes or not. I still keep in touch with a good handful of my peers, but it's quite difficult even now because we're all so busy. I can't imagine 8-10 years from now when we'll all be out of school and working (and possibly having families). I wonder if we'll still get together every now and then? I wonder if we'll even live near each other anymore.

I thought i would be able to remember them all. After all I spendt a few years with most of them. It really shocked me that i could not remember some at all! My mom tolkd me she had met this girl from my grade school class - I had no clue what so ever as to who she was. her name ment nothing to me at all. Usually I'll at least remember someone when given a little info about them. This time I just could not remember. I do remember her now - it took a long time, a few photografs, and a lot of stories before I got there though.

I actually remember a lot of the people I went to school with because I try to take at least one good thing from every person I meet. I like to leave everyone I meet with at least one wonderful memory from myself too.
