Hello! Do you think Jackie Kennedy ever thought of Clint Hill? I know he stopped working for her soon after JFKs death or was forced to and they never spoke again, I read his book and i know he thought of her often and was devastated when he found out about her death. I wonder if she ever thought about him throughout the rest of her life- thank you for answering!
Hey, thanks for the question :)
I personally do believe that she thought of him and held him in high regard throughout her life. That being said, in the biographies that I’ve read about her it’s clear that after the assassination she wanted to look forward in her life in order to deal with the pain. More recent biographies such as J. Randy Taraborrelli’s latest one go in depth on her PTSD syndrome after what happened in Dallas, which I think explains why she didn’t keep a lot of close contact with people from her “D.C life”.
I know that they did see each other again sometime in the later sixties although I’m not totally sure what the occasion was. I also know that he was not too pleased about the news of her marrying Aristotle Onassis in 1968 and stated something along the lines of “she’ll always be Mrs. Kennedy to me”- which makes sense considering the tense Kennedy - Onassis relations in the earlier sixties.
Hope this was helpful :)
