MUSCATINE, Iowa – As mil-lions of Americans left for workTuesday, no one could have pre-dicted what the day would bring.Some families in Muscatine notonly faced the harsh reality ofterrorism in our own country,

they were alsoscrambling to findout the where-

abouts of their loved ones inNew York and Washington, D.C.

Bob Sunderbruch, director ofhuman resources for the Musca-tine Community School District,had a very anxious morning ashe sat at work waiting to hearfrom son Jude Sunderbruch, 28,MHS ’92.

Jude is in the Air Forcereserve and has worked in Wash-ington, D.C., for the Department

of Defense for the last two yearsin the Pentagon. Luckily, Judehappened to be out of the build-ing when the plane crashed.

Due to jammed phone circuitsand extreme cell phone use, itwas difficult for those inWashington, D.C., to communi-cate. Bob Sunderbruch finallygot a call from his son approxi-mately two hours after the planecrash Tuesday. After a long dayof uncertainty, BobSunderbruch’s reaction was sim-ply put, “We were quiterelieved.”

Later Monday he got to talk tohis son further.

“He said it was pretty crazybut actually people were verynice. He lives close enough towalk home. Since there were somany more people walking thanusual, store owners were giving

out ice water. He said it waseerie but cool. People went outof their way to be nice to eachother,” Bob Sunderbruch said.

Safe, but very traumatizedDennis O’Neill, 27, MHS ‘92,

called from New York Tuesdayto his mother, former MulberryElementary principal NancyO’Neill (formerly Thornton) andsaid he was OK. He had been atwork across the street from theWorld Trade Center, she said,and witnessed the horriblescenes up close.

Nancy O’Neill, now a princi-pal in Grayslake, Ill., describedher son as safe but “very trau-matized” by the experience. Shesaid he lost a lot of friends andcolleagues, having worked insidethe World Trade Center until ajob change in the past year.� MORE ON LOCALS, PAGE 2A
