Janet Reno, the first woman to serve as U.S. attorney general and the epicenter of several political storms during the Clinton administration, has died. She was 78.

Reno died early Monday from complications of Parkinson's disease, her goddaughter Gabrielle D'Alemberte said. D'Alemberte said Reno spent her final days at home in Miami surrounded by family and friends.

I know exactly where she lived in Miami. Secluded home in the southwest section. My dad pointed it out to me long ago since he worked nearby. I always think about Janet Reno when I drive past that area.

When my sister graduated from Florida State University in 1999, Janet Reno gave a very impressive commencement speech.

RIP
