No. But we’ll still remember **Hal Briston** and the sheep thing. ---

> [@GuanoLad](#): > > I don’t remember many of the people I went to school with. I suddenly was reminded of one such kid the other day, and I realised it was the first time I’d thought of him in nearly 30 years. And this was someone whose real name I know, who I spoke to multiple times, and I think for a whole year I sat next to him in Tech Drawing class. In fact, I’m blanking on his surname right now. I remembered his name, looked him up online, and found a picture of him [carrying the corpse of a wild pig on his back](http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ak-snc6/274190_100000415967551_665741418_n.jpg). I perhaps should’ve mentioned I went to school in rural New Zealand. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/will-you-remember-me-20-years-from-now/647779.md?page=1)
