Is there a tactful way of handling a social problem like this? A. If you are greeted by someone whose name escapes you, say something harmless like, “Nice to see you,” or, “You’re looking well.” Then let the other person do the talking until he gives a clue to his identity. And incidentally, if you’re so admittedly good with faces, can’t you do SOMETHING about names? Q. Who is supposed to defray the expenses of wedding photographs? A. The bride’s family.
