Why should I remember you...

I was recently talking to friend when I name-dropped someone from our past. What surprised me was the follow question of, "Who??" And even after digging out a photograph the response was still, "I don't remember..." This got me thinking to what makes someone memorable...
During my time at university I have gotten through (checks his fingers) about fifty housemates. Now some of these I can just about remember their faces if not their names, some of these are barely the faintest of memories. Take the following photograph from... my second year. While I can name all of them I am only still in touch with one of them (thanks to FB). The others, even though I've tried, have remained somewhere out there... I wonder how many of them remember me...??
After many years worth of different university clubs and societies I have been introduced, indeed been team mates with many, many people but I certainly couldn't name them all. I wouldn't be able to come close. You could even limit it to just the names of the committee, or even the committees I was a member of I'm fairly certain I would be missing people.
