Alright, same thing here, but a bit smaller, cause my Dad was just the troop leader of a large contingent of scouts. Hundreds of parents and kids knew me, but I mostly just “pretended” to know them like you did. I’ve met up with these people, didn’t know a single one of them. You just plainly say, “sorry, it’s been quite a few years how do we know each other?” If they push harder, just say, “sorry, my Dad knew a lot of people, it’s all a flash of faces when you’re a kid.” Trust me, people will get it and not give ya a hard time. When one person did, the others told him to bugger off and stop being so self important. From there on, you can start anew. Just ask them their names and move on.
