Heather Dunbar (71) passed away in her home in Van Etten, NY on February 5, 2022. Heather engaged with decades of fresh talent, mentoring and supporting the best from us. Lay linguist, incredible communicator, engaging interviewer, writer and speaker- she loved interpretive literature and it would come out in her allegory storytelling. She was a broadcaster, maybe best known for her 22 years hosting country and bluegrass on WVBR-FM's “the Salt Creek Show.” She warmly met you at the door to the best live music, making sure bands could afford to play Ithaca area venues and fundraising thousands from time to time in the most grassroots of ways. She presented expert talks and touring bands. Sometimes she'd stop by and end up weeding your garden.
What will this world be like without her?
