Orange and Maroon doll

One of the items on display at the Alumni Center Art Exhibit. On 4/16/08, as part of the Day of Remembrance observance, the Holtzman Alumni Center Museum displayed examples of art, crafts, quilts, and other memorabilia contributed since April 16, 2007. This is one of over 60,000 items that will eventually go to Special Collections at Newman Library.

A letter accompanying this doll said:

"Dear Sir,
My name is Linda Woodward and I have been making dolls for a while. I heard about the tragedy that happen last week. I am so deeply sorry about it. So I would like to send you a VT doll that I made with tears and sadness. There is a bow for every soul that died. Thirty three in all, all little bows.

I am sorry again,
Linda Woodward"
