We revisit a conversation with Henry and Bunny Medeiros (August 15, 1942-June 7, 2025).

"As an accomplished writer, Bunny advocated for her community by holding local officials accountable in editorials, and in her newspaper column, where she explored life in rural Virginia. Her first book, "The Friendliest Town on the Trail", offers readers a guide to Damascus, Virginia. Bunny's second book, "Walking to Wijiji", serves as a memoir of her extensive travels and her journey out of a sense of loneliness and into a life of resilience and joy." -obituary
