In the 1930's Curtis Dall "...helped to organize what later became the Tennessee Gas and Transmission Company of Houston, one of the largest corporations in the country.

Curtis obituary reports that in the 1930's Curtis Dall "...helped to organize what later became the Tennessee Gas and Transmission Company of Houston, one of the largest corporations in the country. But he sold his interest before the company's real growth began."[[#Footnotes 1|A]] While a more contemporary report, mentions that he left this company about 1943.[[#Footnotes 5|Q]]

It is not clear to me where they lived from 1938 to 1946, Curtis sort of falls off the radar a bit, but in 1946-47, they are living in San Antonio, Texas where "Col and Mrs Curtis Dall" appear several times at society events. The first mention I can find of a speech is [http://www.newspaperarchive.com/PdfViewerTags.aspx?img=69097859&currentResult=12&src=search&firstvisit=true here] in the ''San Antonio Express'' 20 Mar 1947 (page 11) where his topic to the Fenwick Club was "Leadership". In the 1940's, he became active in politics, campaigning "...for Strom Thurmond, who was the Presidential nominee of the conservative States' Rights Party".[[#Footnotes 1|A]][[#Footnotes 5|R]]
