Man can remember every day of his life

Name any day and Brad Williams can probably tell you what he did. He's been featured on Good Morning America and the Today show. He's even taken on America's most famous master of trivia, Ken Jennings. "He cleaned my clock," says Jennings. "The guy's phenomenal."

Brad's supersized memory has its limits. He sometimes forgets where he parked. He can't memorize a telephone book. But he's off the charts in what is called "superior autobiographical memory" – meaning he effortlessly recalls the days of his life and events that fell on them.

Dec 31, 1967?
"That was the "Ice Bowl" game. The Packers beat the Dallas Cowboys. Bart Starr did a quarterback sneak to win the game."

The premiere of "All in the Family?"
"January 12, 1971. A Tuesday. 8:30 p.m. Central time."

He remembers what he ate for lunch on Aug. 18, 1965 (a hamburger at the Red Barn in Flint, Michigan – verified by a family vacation scrapbook); who won Miss America that same year (Vonda Kay Van Dyke who sang "Together, Wherever We Go"); and what was Record of the Year in 1975 ("Love Will Keep Us Together" by the Captain & Tennille).

He is not autistic. Not a savant. The La Crosse radio newscaster is as normal as you and me. Except that he is one of only two people in the world so far identified with "hyperthymesia."
