Abstract

In this interview, Phillip Kassel is the guest. Kassel is asked about Jack Hill, to which he explains how they became lifelong friends through school. Their wives also became friends and all four would develop a wonderful relationship. Both men stated a Mystery Hills Catering Service and Kassel himself considered Hill to be a chef. After explaining the heartbreak Jack had to experience when his wife Jennie died, Kassell discusses how both men traveled down to Mexico on vacation. To him, it felt like a version of the movie “The Bucket List”. Then, Kassel brings up Hill’s military accomplishments during the war. Hill was a greatly decorated San Bernardino man but was too humble to brag or show off. The interview ends with Kassel saying how he never heard someone say a bad word about Hill or even dislike him.
