(Hey, Sandy, if you’re reading, I’m sorry.)

I have a decent memory for faces–”decent” reading as “slightly better than atrocious”–but no memory at all for names. So at ALA, I’m usually OK, as long as people are wearing badges. Unfortunately, there seem to be a few thousand people who recognize me, and “Hi, Walt” with “Hi” as a response is…well, we deal with it.

I’m also somewhat hard of hearing, shy, and have a terrible memory for faces. Not a good combination at social events.

I hope you’re not beating yourself up over this.
