More than 40,000 American men refused to fight during World War II. Citing principled opposition, they declared themselves conscientious objectors. Rejecting combat duty, nearly 12,000 men entered Civilian Public Service (CPS) with the intent to perform \"work of national importance\" as an alternative to combat duty. The CPS program was set up by members of the historic peace churches (Mennonites, Brethren, and Quakers) and participated in by pacifists from other churches, of no specific religious persuasion, and, in the case of a few, no persuasion except not to fight in that particular war. CPS men worked as aides in mental hospitals, volunteered as smoke jumpers in forest fires, and participated in grueling medical and scientific experiments.  Frazer and O'Sullivan use the oral histories of 15 CPS men and two of their wives to illuminate their experience during World War II. ","Heather T.

Spencer was born in Orlando and grew up in Winter Garden, Florida. He worked at Sand Hill Nursery near Lake Avalon and the Land of Bromeliads in Gotha before finding employment with Julian Nally. After the Nally estate was sold, Spencer worked for Racine Foster at Bromel-La. He graduated from UCF in 1990 summa cum laude with a BA in Liberal Studies and then found employment with Lyman B. Smith at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. Michael Spencer named a genus of bromeliads \"Racinaea\" in honor of Racine Foster. While engaged in his research, Spencer amassed this collection of materials concerning bromeliads and their collectors. He now lives in Frederick, Maryland where he has served on the Historic Preservation Commission since 2004.","Materials were rehoused in pH neutral folders and cartons. Photographs, negatives and slides were enclosed in polyester sleeves. Many of the materials were well organized and the arrangement was retained. The remainder were arranged by following the original arrangement as far as possible. Notes on folders were retained in the new folder. Paper clips were replaced with plastic clips or materials that belonged together were held together in a pH neutral paper sleeve. Loose-leaf notebooks that were badly rusted were discarded and the contents placed in folders. Items loose in the back of notebooks were foldered separately and marked accordingly. Notes from a film canister were written exactly as found as the label could not be removed. Albums falling apart were taken apart and foldered. Albums in reasonable condition had the photographs attached properly with corners and the pages interleaved to prevent sticking. Loose album pages in the Foster subseries on Plant Information were merely foldered as they were not in an album and were found without context.

Spencer was born in Orlando and grew up in Winter Garden, Florida. He worked at Sand Hill Nursery near Lake Avalon and the Land of Bromeliads in Gotha before finding employment with Julian Nally. After the Nally estate was sold, Spencer worked for Racine Foster at Bromel-La. He graduated from UCF in 1990 summa cum laude with a BA in Liberal Studies and then found employment with Lyman B. Smith at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. Michael Spencer named a genus of bromeliads \"Racinaea\" in honor of Racine Foster.

Photographs, negatives and slides were enclosed in polyester sleeves. Many of the materials were well organized and the arrangement was retained. The remainder were arranged by following the original arrangement as far as possible. Notes on folders were retained in the new folder. Paper clips were replaced with plastic clips or materials that belonged together were held together in a pH neutral paper sleeve. Loose-leaf notebooks that were badly rusted were discarded and the contents placed in folders. Items loose in the back of notebooks were foldered separately and marked accordingly. Notes from a film canister were written exactly as found as the label could not be removed. Albums falling apart were taken apart and foldered. Albums in reasonable condition had the photographs attached properly with corners and the pages interleaved to prevent sticking. Loose album pages in the Foster subseries on Plant Information were merely foldered as they were not in an album and were found without context.

Photographs may be black and white or color prints, negatives or slides. Additional materials about the Fosters may be found in Series II and III.","\nSeries II: Subject Files, 1880-2003 contains catalogues, journals, photographs, memorabilia and correspondence that Michael Spencer brought together under his chosen subject headings and arranged alphabetically. Many of the materials in this series originally came from Mulford and Racine Foster, which means that there is some overlap with the previous series. Spencer's own collecting interest lay in documenting the importance of bromeliads in society, and he collected many common items that showed bromeliads, especially pineapples.","\nSeries III: Author Files, 1754-1997 includes a variety of media used for research, such as articles, books, magazines, newspaper clippings, and photographs. There are a significant number of materials authored by Mulford and Racine Foster and Lyman B.

He completed business college and worked at a bank and on his father's newspaper. Mulford Foster first visited Florida in 1912 and was fascinated by Spanish Moss; he moved to Florida in 1923 and learned that Spanish Moss is a bromeliad. This discovery fired his interest in bromeliads although he also collected amaryllids, cacti, orchids, palms and other tropical plants. Mulford Foster made collecting trips to Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Jamaica, Mexico and other South American and Caribbean countries. In the course of his travels, he discovered new species many of which are named for him or family members, such as, Zephranthes Fosterii or Amaryllis Fosterii. As well as plant collecting, he worked as a landscape gardener and hybridized and sold plants. He was a founding member of the Bromeliad Society, and supported plant journals and alternative societies. Mulford Foster married twice; his first wife, Fridel, was the mother of his children Bert, Gerda, Miriam O'Neill and Jeanne Eunice Smith. Racine Sarasy became his second wife and she was completely involved in all aspects of the business of collecting, caring for and selling plants. She made specimens, took photographs, edited the Bromeliad Journal and wrote articles. Racine was born on 1st March 1910 in Janesville, Wisconsin. She initially studied music at Lawrence College Conservatory of Music in Appleton, Wisconsin, then comparative literature at the University of Wisconsin. Though she did not graduate, Racine became a private tutor, and the work eventually took her to Florida where she met Mulford. Racine Foster finally completed her degree by graduating from Rollins College with a BA in English in 1953 and an MA in Teaching in 1963. She taught in Orange County schools as a substitute teacher throughout the 1960s. Mulford and Racine Foster lived at 718 Magnolia Avenue in Orlando from 1945 until 1959 when they moved to Bromel-La. Mulford Foster died on August 28th 1978 and Racine Foster died in 1991.","Series I is divided into thirteen subseries by the various aspects of Mulford and Racine Foster's work.

Mulford Foster first visited Florida in 1912 and was fascinated by Spanish Moss; he moved to Florida in 1923 and learned that Spanish Moss is a bromeliad. This discovery fired his interest in bromeliads although he also collected amaryllids, cacti, orchids, palms and other tropical plants. Mulford Foster made collecting trips to Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Jamaica, Mexico and other South American and Caribbean countries. In the course of his travels, he discovered new species many of which are named for him or family members, such as, Zephranthes Fosterii or Amaryllis Fosterii. As well as plant collecting, he worked as a landscape gardener and hybridized and sold plants. He was a founding member of the Bromeliad Society, and supported plant journals and alternative societies. Mulford Foster married twice; his first wife, Fridel, was the mother of his children Bert, Gerda, Miriam O'Neill and Jeanne Eunice Smith. Racine Sarasy became his second wife and she was completely involved in all aspects of the business of collecting, caring for and selling plants.
