I just needed to be somewhere.

We only had one patron come into night.  We asked if she was here to do family history and she said, "No, I just needed be somewhere."  Sister Norris and I smiled at each other and visited for a few minutes.

  We started talking about her family tree and how important it is that she get started.  I asked if she could type and she smiled, so that was a nice way of saying she did not type.  I told that I did and she could sit by me.  She hesitated a minute, but came over.

  We had 55 names on her tree when she looked at the clock and said, "Is it really 6?  I have to get up early and work tomorrow."  Then she remembered a few more names including her brothers and sisters and her half brothers and sisters, which we had not entered..  She sat down again and we entered them.  She now has 67 names and plans to get spouses and children for the ones we entered tonight.

  When she did finally leave she said, "I guess there was a reason I needed to be somewhere  tonight."
