I brought up details I was sure would jog his memory but didn&#8217;t, yet he remembered the building rental manager we had problems with and other things from then, hmmm, I&#8217;m not sure if maybe there was a language issue on the phone and he wasn&#8217;t quite hearing me well, or if maybe it&#8217;s some memory loss due to age, we did work together for 4 years so it wasn&#8217;t just a brief encounter. So I said I would send him a copy of my book, and was sure when he saw the pictures it would jog his memory and he would remember, I think it will work but wow, it&#8217;s hard to imagine how someone can forget but I can see now how difficult it must be for families who have a loved one with mild dementia or early alzheimers, or just old age wakes up one morning and their family member with that doesn&#8217;t even know who they are despite being family for 80 years or something! Oh well, we&#8217;ll see if I hear back from him or his family via mail after he gets the book, 32 years is a long time ago but I remember everything from back then to the smallest detail, that&#8217;s why this is so surprising, I really expected he would almost instantly recognize my name and then we&#8217;d reminisce about old times and talk about what we&#8217;ve been doing, but it didn&#8217;t happen that way and since he couldn&#8217;t remember I didn&#8217;t continue too far.","og_url":"https:\/\/randallwolff.com\/wordpress\/2014\/02\/the-cable-building-acanthus-leaf-frieze-completed\/","og_site_name":"Victorian &amp;
