About Me

Gleaves Whitney
has directed the Hauenstein Center for Presidential Studies since 2003. He refuses to be corralled into any ideology -- political or religious -- and he doesn't apologize for being unable to recognize anybody in PEOPLE magazine. He has the greatest friends a man could have, and loves his family, dogs, reading history, and TTC talks. He travels, hikes, and takes photographs in places of historic significance and natural beauty -- "scenes so lovely [they] were gazed upon by angels in their flight." A word-monger, he's written or edited 15 books. To learn more about his work, see: www.HauensteinCenter.org/ gleaveswhitney.blogspot.com/ facebook.com/ www.gleaveswhitney.com/ gleavescampbell.blogspot.com/
