The Cafeteria Girl
Wilson recalls being blown away by her appearance and general being. “I actually didn’t think I had a chance with her. She was a year ahead of me and just so beautiful.” As a sophomore, Rude was able to work a campus job. She would start her mornings in the cafeteria and then spend the rest of her day in classes for her business degree. Wilson was intimidated by Rude but made sure to be the first one in line every morning just to talk to her.
