BRENDER was a 911 Dispatcher for 20 years. She started her dispatching career at the age 18, just two weeks after graduating from high school. At age 16, she was working as a local DJ on radio stations in Minnesota and Iowa. This song is a glimpse of what it is like to be on the other end of the line. Written by Brenda, as a tribute to our unseen heros, the 1st-first responders, our 911 Lifelines.
