 Peter Hannaford's career,spanning over four decades, includes a long association with Ronald Reagan; representation in Washington of foreign heads of state and some of the nation's--and world's--largest companies; senior roles in presidential campaigns and Republican National Conventions; and authorship of numerous articles and seven books. Now a Washington-based public relations/public affairs consultant, Mr. Hannaford for twenty years headed The Hannaford Company, Inc.(founded as Deaver & Hannaford, Inc.), serving a national and international clientele. During the five years between Ronald Reagan's governorship and California and his election as President of the United States , the firm handled all aspects of his scheduling, political liaison and editorial support. Mr. Reagan's own office in those years was in the firm's headquarters. Before that, Mr. Hannaford was Assistant to the Governor and Director of Public Affairs for Governor Reagan in Sacramento . In that position he supervised the press office, speech research office, community relations unit and the state's Office of Information Services. Peter Hannaford's books include four about Ronald Reagan: The Reagans: A Political Portrait (1983); Remembering Reagan (1994); Recollections of Reagan (1997); and The Quotable Ronald Reagan (1998). Others include Talking Back to the Media (1986; Japanese edition 1990); and My Heart Goes Home: A Hudson Valley Memoir (1997). His latest book, drawn from his experience as a member of the Mount Vernon Advisory Committee, is The Essential George Washington (1999).
