I actually contacted a friend of mine from back when both Rudy and I went to First Presbyterian Church as teenagers. I just had this feeling and I regret to share that Rudy fell off a tractor, and I didn't go any further. This happened to my father-in-law at age 68 where it was a miracle he survived and he was disabled for 20 years. It just makes me sick as it was a terrible accident. I hope that Rudy didn't suffer.
