Brenda Wilson was born in Louisiana, but has claimed Dallas as home since she was a toddler. She joined the CRAC staff in 1981. Having graduated from SMU with both BS and MS degrees in Economics, as well as having taught Economics at Brookhaven College for 25 years, she is certainly more than qualified to 'crunch the CRAC numbers!' Long distance travel, especially to Europe, crocheting and revitalizing her 'seasoned' Red Oak retirement dream home constitute Brenda’s productive leisure time. A favorite destination, for long weekend getaways, is the scrubby, mountainous scenery of New Mexico and the plethora of remote bed and breakfast inns. Finally, her furry family in Garland consists of 4 feral cats that she has tamed…sort of….or vice versa
