Buttermilk Pie recipe from or similar to the Lighthouse Restaurant, Haines, AK?

Question

My mother and I have been searching for about 20 years for a buttermilk pie recipe. The Lighthouse Restaurant's cook wouldn't give hers out. It's not custardy, it's more of a cream pie.

Again... it is NOT a custard recipe I'm looking for - ICK!
