And the name Varina is from Varina Davis - First Lady of the Confederacy. She does have a pretty grave at Hollywood Cemetery!
There is also a town called Regina, VA (with a long I), where the airborne Ebola outbreak happened. The funny thing is when I was teaching my Bio students about the Ebola outbreak in Regina, they giggled at the name. I reminded them that they were in Varina high school. 🤣
