Barbara Arestegui

A few years ago, during the half time of a sporting event there was a presentation by U2. And while Bono was singing and The Edge was doing his thing, suddenly they started to roll the names of those killed in September 11 of 2001.

The first name to appear called my attention. Later I could not find it on the different lists they published.

Now I have the info, her name was Barbara Arestegui according to the Cape Cod Times:

Barbara "Bobbi" Arestegui, 38, Marstons Mills, flight attendant, American Airlines. She was not scheduled to work Flight 11 that day but had accepted extra flights. She was saving up vacation to take a trip with her boyfriend to Vermont at the end of this month. She was the middle of five girls from a California family with Spanish Basque roots.

There was a memorial service at 12:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 23, at the Osterville Baptist Church.
