I've found in biosciences that the reference letters for graduate school are a simple requirement - the PI with whom you will work is often more interested in talking to you directly and whoever supervised your research project.
Good luck.
Oh, and if it's in and of the non-applied sciences, think wisely whether you actually want (and need) to do graduate school.

Good advice.. at this point in the game it may help to tell them about what you're doing now (cv), and what you're hoping to accomplish. Professors are generally inquisitive people, so even if they don't remember you there's a chance they'd still support your endeavours. Gl
