Daymar doesn't count; he's merely vague... I believe the scene in _Yendi_ that's already been discussed serves for that. Vlad asked Sethra if she remembered the details and she indicated that it was long enough ago that she shouldn't be expected to remember, but upon Vlad insiste, she did whatever she did and remembered. Other examples would be in FHYA and PotD. I do not remember any exactly lines or scenes, but I'm almost certain there are conversations between our heros asking if they remember the past adventures or asking how they used to sit around the house and converse in PG. The fact that they asked if they remembered indicates that Dragaerans, like humans, do not remember everything.
