Collection
General Type: Papers
Physical Description: 1 Linear ft.
Inclusive Dates: 1935
Donor: Andrew P. Cokinos
In 1986, Andrew P. Cokinos was elected City Councilman -at -
Large on the mandate that he would act in the capacity of public
"watchdog" on behalf of the citizens of Beaumont. His nomination
to that post came during public controversy and the loss in excess
of over twenty million dollars of public funds in the ESM
transaction. During his tenure in city government, Mr. Cokinos
never failed to attend a council meeting nor let a complaint go
unheeded. His strong support for the Fire and Police Departments
brought public safety to maximum efficiency. Andrew, one of four
homegrown brothers, is a graduate of Texas A & M University and
is retired from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
This collection consists of one (1) post card of the Y.M.C.A.,
a program guide from the promotion day exercise of the Dowling
Junior High School, dated May 30, 1935, and one (1) Order of the
Eastern Star Manuscript.
