Calen “Rudy” Ross – a son, a brother, a nephew, a grandson, an uncle, a sweetheart, a husband, a daddy-to-be, a friend, an outdoorsman, and lastly an organ and tissue donor. These are just some of the titles worn by the 21 year old Fulda man who is responsible for giving a 32-year old man from Wyoming a second chance at life with a normal face.
