The inspiration for the movie Rudy is sharing his message in the Chippewa Valley. Daniel Rudy Ruettiger [Roo-te-gur] was in Eau Claire yesterday as the keynote speaker for the Annual Gala for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwestern Wisconsin.
He spoke to the crowd about staying positive and getting away from negative people. Ruettiger played just 27 seconds of college football at Notre Dame, but became known for his persistence.
