A forbidden love story like no other: Janice Rude and Prentiss Willson
No, I’m not talking about Romeo and Juliet. I’m talking about Janice Rude and Prentiss Willson.
A sophomore in college in the 1960s, Janice worked in the cafeteria to make money throughout her student career.
It was there where she and Prentiss first laid eyes on each other. They say it was love at first sight.

Prentiss began eating breakfast in the dining hall each morning where he could see the beautiful young woman he was quickly growing fond of. And thanks to Janice’s BOLD effort to see Prentiss over Thanksgiving break that fall, the two began dating.

They quickly fell in love, and in a short bit of time, Janice Rude and Prentiss Willson became engaged. Their families announced it in their local newspapers, and wedding planning commenced.
