He recounts a story of one woman who was working on the search effort while a relative was missing. After she found out her relative was dead, she continued to aid in the effort.

"The next day she showed up again," Kluttz says. "Who can't be inspired by that?"

But Kluttz also talked of many heart-wrenching stories from his work in Oklahoma.

On Sunday, Kluttz says he visited some family members of the missing at St. Luke's Church. He brought stuffed animals to some of the younger members to console them.

To one particular 15-year old girl, he gave a stuffed Fozzy Bear doll.

"As I was leaving, she came running over and she said `Good luck finding my mother." All I could say was `I'll try."

Logistics Duty

Kluttz was assigned to work at the Red Cross command center for logistics located only three blocks from the bombed out building.

"Within hours of [my] arriving, they just handed me a clipboard," Kluttz said. "They told me to go on the news and make pleas to the nation for supplies. I couldn't even finish the interview without people calling in."

Kluttz says he worked at a warehouse through which all supplies for the relief effort went.

"Everything from the nation and around the world was coming to our warehouse," Kluttz says. "I knew if we messed this up, it would either slow or halt the operation."

While the job of talking to reporters that Kluttz assumed at times might seem glamorous, in return for being able to make his plea on TV, he says he constantly had to answer the same two questions.

"They all asked: `Has morale died?' and `Have you given up hope of finding people alive?'" he says.

Kluttz says he got sick of answering the same questions so many times so he wrote his answer on his rain coat.

"I wrote on my rain jacket, `Hope springs eternal,'" Kluttz says.
