When Johnny Depp Comes to Pemi

You’d remember if you saw Johnny Depp at Pemi, wouldn’t you? Alums often share their favorite Pemi memories, but did you know that using the Junior tennis courts, for instance, can actually improve your memory? Pemi alum Rob Verger says all you need to learn is a trick or two.

Here’s a  delightful article by Rob in The Daily Beast describing his recent experience as a contestant at the USA Memory Championship, held in NYC.

Rob is a reporter for Newsweek and The Daily Beast, a former instructor for Columbia University’s Undergraduate Writing Program, and his work has also appeared in The Boston Globe. Prior to that, of course, he was Bean Soup editor.
