Jackie Kennedy’s Secret Service agent speaks at Buckingham event
Retired Secret Service agent Clint Hill recently recounted his daily interactions and experiences as a first-hand witness to Jackie Kennedy’s life in a special presentation that featured discussions about
his book, Mrs. Kennedy and Me: An Interview with Clint Hill.
The book is co-authored by Lisa McCubbin, New York Times best-selling author and former news anchor. McCubbin interviewed Hill in a presentation hosted by The Buckingham, an SQLC retirement community, taking guests on a journey through history, complete with photos, videos and stories about the former first lady who fascinated the world.
“Clint Hill’s emotional and moving presentation captivated the audience,” said Julie Fenske, executive director of The Buckingham.
Hill spoke to an interested crowd about his past experiences while protecting one of the world’s most iconic families. Hill acted as primary Secret Service agent to Jackie from her first days in the White House through the tragic assassination of her husband on Nov. 22, 1963. Hill became a part of history when he threw his body over President John F. Kennedy and the first lady — hoping to spare their lives by possibly sacrificing his own.
