RIP Janet Hill

[nmduke2001]

The Dallas Cowboys have sent out a press release sending condolences to Calvin and Grant Hill on the passing of Janet Hlll, Grant’s mother. No info on how she passed.

Janet was quite the accomplished woman in her own right, she attended Wellesley College and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics in 1969. As many know, she was Hillary Clinton’s roommate. Janet attended the University of Chicago Graduate School and the Graduate School of Education and, in 1972, received a Masters of Arts in Teaching Mathematics. She served on the board of directors for the Carlyle Group and was a Trustee at Duke
if I remember correctly.

Thoughts with Grant and the entire Hill family.

So sorry to hear this. She was going to get the University Medal this year at Founders day. I met her several times. She had a great love for the University.

What an amazing career she had. Her service to Duke alone was very substantial.

I remember stories about how strict of a parent she was with young and then teen-aged Grant. Yet another of her ventures that turned out well!

Very sad news. Brilliant and accomplished woman.

Wow this is sad news. She led a very amazing life and did a lot to make this a better world. May the Hill family find peace and remember all the good times they had with her.

I had the pleasure of meeting Janet years ago. A force of nature and an incredible person. Absolutely electric person to speak with. After 5 minutes you wanted to run through a wall of fire for her. Her passion for Duke was legendary. She recruited my mother to join a parents committee years ago at Duke...to hear her speak about how Duke developed true leaders was one of the greatest recruiting pitches. RIP

Calvin was my (twin) uncles’ friend, teammate and roommate at Yale. I am so saddened for him and Grant and the Hill family generally. May you find solace in each other and hopefully a little strength from the love you’re getting from all the people you all have touched.

Grant Hill has tweeted out a statement from the Hill family: https://twitter.com/realgranthill33/...69805329915905

Apparently Janet had glioblastoma. Diagnosed last year. I had no idea she was sick.

It's a small matter, and the focus should obviously be on what a great person Janet Hill was and on condolences to the family--but she was not Hillary Clinton's roommate--though she was her classmate and they knew each other at college. https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/race-activism-and-hillary-clinton-at-wellesley
Apprently, according to the cited article, this belief stemmed from a misstatement by Dick Vitale.

Blackistone is a good guy. His many years in Dallas also well acquainted him with the Hill family, and that comes through in the article.

Surely, you jest.
