This collection contains correspondence, organizational and financial documentation, meeting minutes, and reference materials from the Coalition for Support of Public Schools (CSPS).

The CSPS was a grassroots advocacy organization established in early 1995 to, quoting its mission statement, "give concrete support and assistance to public schools in our community and to the dedicated professionals who teach our children." Membership in the group was consciously diverse in religion, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic, and cultural backgrounds and dedicated not only to the independence and excellence of public schools in the Bryan/College Station, TX area but to the Constitutional principles of freedom of religion and speech and the separation of church and state.

This collection consists of letters between Robert H. Kokernot and his first wife, Edith May Babcock (Edith Kokernot Grinnell) during and after World War II from 1943-1946.

The majority of letters collected by Edith are from Robert with the exception of one folder of correspondence from Edith to Robert in March and April 1944, one folder of letters written to Edith's parents from Robert, and two folders of letters written by friends addressed to Robert and Edith.

The corresponding postmarked envelopes were not with their accompanying letter when the collection was processed. These are held in separate folders at the end of the collection.
