Bright and early on a Thursday morning when Rochelle was an over-achieving college sophomore and John was a sliding-to-the-finish-line college senior, the University of Minnesota had an event with free breakfast. There was also an astronaut giving a talk about his experiences, but free breakfast was the main attraction. Just before the event was about to start, John's table ran out of donuts. His hungry prowl for a tasty torus led him across the room to Rochelle's table. Unfortunately the speaker started then, so John had to wait an hour before introducing himself to the gorgeous blonde across the table. Fast forward seven and half years and we're here!
