Library hosts Memorize Class
Friends of the North End Library recently sponsored a program called Memorize Best Works with guest speaker Neil A. Kutzen who taught a room full of enthusiasts four steps to a better memory starting with names.
He handed out informative slides that walked participants through the steps. He started with information on how to select a reminder image for various names.
Those in attendance were all able to remember names of people when he showed the photos, later in the class. Neil remember the names of everyone in the class (35).
