I don't know either of those people so I couldn't tell you.
I have an aunt this happens to frequently, and she is able to recall extremely vivid and specific details about people that most can’t. She says it’s very unnerving for them.
I on the other hand can’t remember more than general details about my own life. If somebody wanted to know a specific thing about my past I’d probably have to ask my wife.

Those 2 were something else. Amd that danged Carl will be outshooting people from his damned grave. **** he was quick. I don't think I EVER saw him "pressured" ... He is an AMAZING shooter.
OMG this is ME, too! Grumpy will be reminiscing and ask me something about any time before my late 30s, early 40s and I'll literally just draw a blank.
In fact I don't remember a whole lot, in general, about much of my life before he came along. I mean I remember important dates, like my kids' birthdays and in a conversation I can relate things that happened here, there and yonder but I can't even tell you things like when we had the car accident that fubared my neck ... Or the dates of any of the surgeries I've had ... Or when either of my parents passed. Things that most people recall easily. Hell, I couldn't even tell you when mine and the first husband's anniversary was. Or any of my brothers' or sisters' birthdays.
Like you, I have to "run it by" Grumpy because I REALLY don't know ...
A coworker of mine and I worked together for 15 years before we figured out we were related to each other. She was some sort of great aunt to me, but preferred being called a "cousin" because it didn't make her sound as old. 
When stationed in Pusan Korea in the Army, I was walking across the unloading docks of the 609th ordnance company when a voice yelled my name. It was a classmate in high school walking down the gangplank of the merchant marine ship he was working on. The odds of two old friends meeting at that point in time that far from home still amazes me.
We travel a lot and make new friends easily. One of the first questions is where are you from?
It’s probably because of the refinery and the folks in sales, trucker’s that deliver there and others that Ponca City is quite well known around the country. The folks we meet always have a name of somebody in town they know. Some we know, some we don’t.

I did Basic Training in summer of 1996 at Ft Sill, and ran into one of the guys from my BT platoon in 2003 in Kuwait while deployed. I was from Louisiana and he was from New York IIRC
I'm drawing a blank.
Middle of 5th grade we moved from Memphis to Indianapolis. That summer, dad took us to Disney World in Florida. On one of the rides, I hear "Adam??"...it was one of my classmates from Memphis in the row behind me.
Another one, I was living in Texas, and parents in Ohio. We met up with friends and family in Memphis one weekend, and hear this loud boisterous laugh on the other side of the restaurant we are in.
My dad says no way, gets up and checks it out...it's one of his coworker friends he worked with in Indianapolis.
That stuff kinda freaks me out.
