I guess that's a good question. I've always had a great long-term memory. I can tell you the date I did most anything important. I find it's easier if you tie it into some other important event. When I saw a movie it was remembered because of a birthday, a happening, meeting someone. For example, I graduated from high school on June 6, 1968, why do I remember that date, RFK died that day. I also have a good short-term memory which was enhanced by being an air traffic controller. In a dark, cool room you're forced to remember the goings and comings of ten aircraft that is constantly changing for a two hour period. Kind of like playing chess but the pieces are moving. Here's Pensacola Approach where I worked for a few years.
