[WriteLog] Enhancement request - Name window

[Courtney Judd]

me too   I think that is something I would use.... faces I remember; 
names not so much....way back when,  I went to introduce a girl I had 
been dating for 6 months and couldn't come up with her name.... so much 
for that plan! lol 73's Cort K4WI
