Kemmerer, Wyoming
I take a day and leave Evanston and drive to Kemmerer to do some research. After a few stops, I am in the public library in Kemmerer, Wyoming. I ask the librarian if there were more books about the local history of Kemmerer and Lincoln County.
She explains the small collection is all the library has. Then, suggests I speak to someone from the local historical society. Lucky for me, the gentleman from the historical society, who jogged her memory had just walked into the library.
She introduced us.
I began questioning this gentleman about the local history.
He asked me who in particular I was looking for in Kemmerer. . .
I answered, John Richard Roberts.
This gentleman exclaimed, "That's my great grandfather!"
That is how we met and I am still in contact with this family member in Kemmerer!
What are the odds of that happening!
