A column in the Roanoke (VA) Times of 1 February 2007 called "Bill Cochran's Mail Bag" publishes a couple letters from readers who have AT connections.
The first letter, from a "Julie Smith," includes the sentences "When I squirrel hunt on the Appalachian Trail I make sure oncoming hikers see me well before they get close. I don't want to frighten them." She's writing in favor of Sunday hunting.
The second letter, from a "Melissa DeVaughn," updates readers on this former staff writer for the Roanoke Times who is now living in Alaska. The editor's note at the bottom includes the sentences, "One of her most memorable projects was hiking the 2,000-plus mile Appalachian Trail with her dog, Ruby, while sending dispatches of her adventures to the newspaper. Fans of DeVaughn still will remember her haunting account of Ruby being killed by a car shortly after their return from the trail."
