(In Brenda's own words...)

I was so proud to be a NDHS grad and many years later to become a Board member of the North Dallas High School Alumni Association. Thanks to Jeanne Stern Laurie for that one phone call wanting to know if I lived in Waco or Keller and asking if I would be interested in helping her contact “lost” Bulldogs. How could I say “No”!! I enjoyed speaking with graduates from 1939 to the present when needed and, in the process, made new friends.

To all my friends – please know how much I enjoyed our days at Stephen J. Hay, North Dallas, and later in life. I will be looking down on you and remembering all the good days we had.

I couldn’t be more blessed.
