Former Secret Service agent Clint Hill sits down with Kennedy Library metadata catalogers working on our digitization project. During the administration, Mr. Hill was assigned to protect Jacqueline Kennedy, and he became a nationally recognized figure because of his quick action during the events of November 22, 1963. Mr. Hill collaborated with former Secret Service agent Gerald Blaine and writer Lisa McCubbin (in photograph, on Mr. Hill’s left) on the recent book The Kennedy Detail. While here to do research for his own upcoming book with Ms. McCubbin on his experiences guarding Mrs. Kennedy, Mr. Hill took the time to help our archivists and metadata catalogers with some of the unknown people and places in our photographic holdings.
The staff at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library in Boston have been invaluable to Clint Hill and me as we wrote MRS. KENNEDY AND ME. We are so grateful to Laurie Austin and Maryrose Grossman in the audiovisual department who gave so freely of their time and expertise--their enthusiasm and devotion to their jobs is admirable.
