They hang on the racks at Freckles, a vintage clothing store on Kirk Avenue in downtown Roanoke. Owner Stephanie Sowder said the story behind them moved her - the man who owned them, an accordion player who marched in parades, bequeathed them to an old friend when he died. The friend was touched by the gesture, but at the same time, what could he do with them?
The former Randolph-Macon Woman's College is facing another legal challenge by a group trying to preserve the private college's long- standing traditions. The group of 11 students, alumnae, former faculty and benefactors filed court papers yesterday to stop the Lynchburg, Va., college from selling artwork purchased through a trust fund of the college's first arts professor, the late Louise Jordan Smith.
