I am not quite sure how I ended up on the blog pages for this subject, but I knew Robert A. Hill personally back from 1974 - 1978. I actually dated his best friend for years (and have his child). Robert when I knew him was a very kind and loving person. He was vibrant, but as one could imagine was guarded. When I first met him I actually knew nothing about his families story. I do remember going over to swim one evening in the pool and we later ended up in the library. The library was painted bright red back then. I was later told that was where in true life Dr. Hill was killed. We use to also go water skiing out at Lake Conroe during the summer. I never asked Robert about the story out of respect for him and his family. I imagine even now it is probably a painful subject and he would much rather the public leave him alone. I attended St. Agnes Academy and he attended Strake Jesuit Prep School next door. His best friend that I dated was Maxfield. My friend Linda (now deceased) dated Robert for a while when were in high school. I have always remembered Robert as a person that was always respectful of others. He was thoughtful and kind. He would go out of his way to help others and make them smile. I hope he has led and is still leading a life that is full of love and peaceful.
