Hudson’s relationship with Jesuit
dates back to before high school. His
grandfather, , is a Jesuit
alumnus, and Hudson used to visit the
school when he was younger.
“I have so many fond memories of Jesu-
son, Frank (named after his grandfather),
with his wife, Britton. “My earliest date
back to middle school when we would
play in some pretty intense pick up
football games in the open grass to the
south of the bleachers on Friday nights,
while some of my best friends’ older
brothers were simultaneously playing in
games that actually mattered.”
Hudson’s bond with Jesuit only grew
stronger during high school. The
faculty, especially Joe Mann and Fr. Don
Saunders, S.J., left a lasting impression,
but the brotherhood made the deepest
imprint.
“Lifelong bonds formed during lunch
and free periods with some amazing
people who are now doing awesome
things for our community were by far
the most impactful of my experiences at
Jesuit,” Hudson said.
A lifelong saltwater angler, Hudson
always enjoyed sharing his love of

“I took the opportunity to join the Bequest
Society because I want my legacy
to include doing something meaningful
for Jesuit, an organization that has done
so much for me and my family over the
last 25 years.” Hudson said.
“Hopefully this will motivate other
alumni to explore life insurance as part of
their giving strategy and get some of the
younger alumni to see how easy it is to
do something meaningful for Jesuit.”
