I spend a lot of my Texas time in Dallas (son, daughter-in-law, only grandson) and outside of Austin (currently in a wonderful campground out of Dripping Springs). Spent a number of months in Alpine (drive 2 miles to get phone service, bad wifi, but almost 1 mile high and great scenery - not to mention jack rabbits, cotton tails, road runners, cows, horses, oh my. My 7-year old perpetual puppy got up early to back at them all.)
I collect all interesting cookbooks, since a recipe is only a ambiguous concept until implementation, and good ideas can come from even "bad" recipes.

I was thinking Texas Tech in Lubbock. I had a brain fart. My dad dated a woman from Alpine in the late 70's. Odd thing, I have a cousin in Dripping Springs. I also have a cousin in Johnson City and several in the Dallas area.
Fort Davis is pretty too.
So was your dad around the east Texas area in 1937?
On the cookbooks, I have over 1400 regular cookbooks and nearly 700 booklets. On all manner of cooking and some I won't touch due to their age.
About 1/3 are regional cookbooks.
