I told her of a Tiki spot I was looking for info on and bingo! she used to frequent the place. What could have been a two minute call turned into a history lesson for me and a trip down memory lane for her that lasted fifteen minutes. She mailed out some photos copies for me on the library's dime and was happy to help me out. A friendly approach is the best.
