He provides such an amazing spirit for that team and sets a standard that I think is so unique in college basketball and so admirable. I just have respect for the school and Father Peter and Jay Wright. I think they’re incredible leaders. I interviewed both of them after they won their first national championship [in 2016]. We’re not buddies or anything, but I certainly admire them.”

MacCallum said in a 2020 interview that her mother’s family in Massachusetts helped to turn her into a Patriots fan. During the interview, MacCallum said that in her youth she rooted for the New York Jets. MacCallum said, “I still sort of quietly cheer for them to someday get their act together and make a comeback.” MacCallum also mentioned that in her younger years, she worked as a waitress in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

5. MacCallum’s Uncle Harry Gray Was Killed in Iwo Jima
In February 2020, MacCallum discovered during a Fox News feature that her uncle, Harry Gray, was killed in Iwo Jima. During an interview with World War II veteran Charles Gubish, MacCallum showed a photo, asking Gubish if he recognized the man in the photo. Gubish replied, saying, “That was my buddy, Gray.” The interview was done in support of MacCallum’s book, “Unknown Valor: A Story of Family, Courage and Sacrifice from Pearl Harbor to Iwo Jima.”
MacCallum discussed her motivations for writing the book in a February 2020 interview with Luxury Travel Magazine saying, “When I was growing up, my mother, Betty MacCallum shared the letters written to her father by her cousin Harry Gray. He was only 18 when he was on Iwo Jima, and I have always wanted to tell his story. The research led me to the other humble Marines with whom he served. It tells the story of the homefront during the war and traces the battles from the attack on Pearl Harbor to Iwo Jima. It is a rich story of men and their loved ones who are praying for them to come back. These men’s lives intersect in surprising and heroic ways. I think we leave readers feeling that they’ve seen the scope of the Pacific, through their true stories.”
