It's amazing how a young boy can read Jack O'Connor and Elmer Keith when ten or eleven years old and remember specific details of that reading after six years of college, a bit of military service, and thirty some years in the business world, as well as raising a family. Is there a name for this phenomenon?

I guess we all remember what is really interesting to us. Don't tell your wife I said that.

I have been asked that same question over decades, just with slightly different wording - Why is it that you can remember any little clump of brush anywhere you have ever been where there was a pheasant and forget you were supposed to ........... (multiple inserts here)
