Gee What was his name?

My husband doesn't usually recognize that his memory is a problem. But the other day it was obvious to him and gave him pause to think. He was driving down a road called James Madison. That made him think about Thomas Jefferson and Monticello, the beautiful estate Jefferson built. The problem was he couldn't think of the name of Thomas Jefferson. That bothered him, because that is not the kind of thing he would ever forget. As he thought about it, he remembered that Peter Jefferson was also a name of a road he knew and that Peter Jefferson was the brother. Finally, Thomas, yes, Thomas Jefferson built Monticello. He was pleased that he was able to remember by piecing things together like a puzzle.
