Improve Your Memory
(Continued from Page B 18)
• Don’t expect perfection.
Everyone forgets something
from time to time, so don’t be
unreasonable with yourself.
FORGET ME NOT
No matter how hard we try,
forgetting names is a common
problem. A recent survey by
John Hopkins researcher, Karen
Bolla surveyed Americans about
their memory complaints and
names topped the list. The
things most people forget are
listed below. You will probably
