No winner yet in 'Doonesbury' Bush search

But that's for short-term situations. Can you remember everyone you
went to school with in high school? Can you even remember all of your
*teachers*?

Now, put yourself in the place of some old guy who was the rankingh
officer at some NG base 30 years back, and consider how hard it would be
to remember with any certainty if some young guy went through your unit
for a few days over a couple of months.


But they weren't seeking one specific person to remember everyone in the
unit, they were seeking anyone from the unit to remember one specific
person.



Political, monetary, or notoriety. For example.


Political gain? How so? Monetary gain? The witness doesn't receive the
reward, it's donated in his name to the USO. Notoriety? Why would anyone
wish to be known in an unfavorable light?

Can you remember all of the people *you* knew, 30 years back, even
casual acquaintances, in enough detail to specify dates?

Nope, but that's a different situation. No specific person was being asked
to confirm Bush's attendance at Dannelly on any specific date.

So you're saying that, even though you can't do it, you expect one of
the dozen or so people who actually worked with Bush in that time period
to do better...

Nope, I'm saying nothing remotely like that.

****, I some times try and think of the names of the eleven people
I worked with daily for three years 20 years ago and seldom make
it past four of them. I still remember their faces just fine though.

Looking at pictures of people I saw at school daily for 1-4 years
thirty years ago, well, I recognize most of them. I can remember the
names of a few and various conversations with most of those.
And I'm not talking about *everybody* at the school, just the ones
I associated with of my own accord.


I just got 4 1/2, now if I can just remember Mike's last name...
