Brenda’s Notebook

Brenda Sue Anderson –

Some of my favorite memories of Brenda are when I was playing video games with her. I remember hooking up an Atari to the television and competing for high score in Galaxian. Due to her work schedule we weren't always home at the same time, so we put a notebook on the coffee table and we kept our high scores there. When we'd get a chance to play then we'd put another high score in it and leave it for the other person. I turned this memory into a project. I invite you to share in this memory too by leaving a score, or leave your own memories.

This is our notebook now. Play a game, leave a memory, or simply spend a little time here.
