Rudy interviewed my husband and me for KOAM after our son died. He made a MAJOR mistake in his report and said something awful about my husband. He had literally misread a quote in the police report. It was a truly innocent mistake, but it was a biggie. The station immediately issued a retraction and apology, but it was Rudy that made me feel better. He was profoundly upset with himself and desperately apologetic. He even called the people directly affected by his mistake and explained. He's a good man who deserves to go far.
