Biographical Sketch
The donor, Jean Grossman [formerly Jeannie Rook], is a graduate of the Texas Tech University Theatre program. Her father, Charles Galloway Rook, Sr., worked as a professor at Texas Tech during the 1940s-1950s doing cotton research under the Cotton Research Committee. Rook and his son, Charles Galloway Rook Jr., owned the Tru-Fab Metal Products Company which provided building materials to construct cotton gins.
Scope and Contents
The collection contains two scrapbooks of theatre productions from the Texas Tech University Theatre. The first is of the 1966 production of Tartuffe, for which the donor was the costuming assistant. The second scrapbook is of various theatre productions from 1964-1966. Also included is a scale model of the theatre's stage and miniature set pieces [made to scale as well] for the play "Not Enough Rope" which was done in the spring of 1966.
The remainder of the material concerns cotton gins, irrigation, cotton burr waste research, and Tru-Fab Metal Products Company. This includes correspondence, photographs and committee information.
