Zell Miller Governor of Georgia personal assistants, 1961-1999.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/660152092

Governor of Georgia, Subseries C.The executive assistant files are organized into Keith Mason files, Steve Wrigley files, and Beverly Messer files. Keith Mason served as Miller's Executive Secretary from January 1991 to July 1993 and Deputy Campaign Manager for the 1990 gubernatorial campaign. He also worked on Miller's earlier campaigns in the 1970s and 1980s and his files document these events. Steve Wrigley worked as Miller's Executive Assistant in 1988 and continued on as a member of his campaign staff during the 1990 election. He then became Senior Executive Assistant in Miller's administration and was promoted to Executive Secretary when Mason resigned in 1993, remaining in that position until the end of Miller's second term in 1998. Wrigley also acted as Chief of Staff to Miller's second gubernatorial campaign in 1994. Wrigley's files are very similar to Miller's executive files in Series IV, sub-series E (Personal Political Files) as both are a mix of subject research, correspondence, and clippings. Wrigley's files contain a great deal of information generated by the 1994 campaign, including voter surveys and opposition files, both of which are currently restricted. Beverly Messer first served as Shirley Miller's executive assistant when Zell Miller served as Lieutenant Governor. Messer moved with Miller to the Governor's Mansion and her files document their work on literacy, promoting GEDs, and breast cancer awareness as well as speeches and public appearances Shirley Miller made.
