Do you ever see someone that you know you recognize, but you can't remember WHERE you know them from? Names are ever harder to recall for me, so I just try to fake that part until it comes to me.
I went to the temple this morning and one of the workers in my session was a face that I knew I recognized, but didn't make a connection for several minutes. Needless to say, I was not quite paying full attention to the business at hand while I was trying to remember.
When it finally did come to me, I realized he was the co-operating teachers when I student taught at Mountain View High School, about 17 years ago. I saw him the first two days I was there and then not again until the end of my semester when he came back to take his class. Apparently, wrestling coaches like having student teachers because it gives them a semester off.
If I am struggling with this recognition issue now, and I am not quite 40 yet, what will if be like when I am 60?!

I am impressed that you actually remembered who he was. I tend to recognize the face and not remember why I know them or the name.
Can I just say that I'm sorry, but it only gets harder to remember. At least by the time you're 60, no one expects you to remember. :)
