I remember reading (prior to the Chief's passing) that had Roberts been confirmed to Justice O'Connor's seat, it would have been the first time that a former clerk joined his former boss on the Supreme Court bench and served with him. Sadly that will not happen.

Interesting- I assumed it was more like the opposite of that.
