ENTERPRISE — Longtime Enterprise attorney Dale Marsh will be inducted into the Alabama Lawyer Hall of Honor at the annual Alabama Law Alumni Society Banquet in Birmingham in March.
Marsh is one of four being honored this year and the only one from the Wiregrass. Other 2023 inductees are the Honorable Sue Bell Cobb, Class of 1981; the Honorable Scott Coogler, Class of 1984; and Elizabeth “Liz” Huntley, Class of 1977.
Marsh is the son and grandson of Coffee County farmers. His grandfather, C.A. Marsh was among the second group of farmers to plant peanuts after the boll weevil destroyed area cotton crops in the early 1900s. That is part of why the story of the renowned Boll Weevil Monument in the middle of Main Street downtown is dear to his heart.
In 1919, Enterprise citizens erected a monument to celebrate their agricultural prosperity, overcoming earlier devastation. Decades later, the weevil was put on top of it. “The lesson of the boll weevil is that when adversity comes your way, don’t quit,” Marsh said."The Boll Weevil Monument might initially seem silly if you do not know the story, but the story is not actually about the boll weevil but what it represents.
“There are lots of people smarter than me, but not a lot of people who are willing to work harder than me. I always said nobody is going to outwork me and that has made all the difference in my law practice and my willingness to help my city, state and nation.”
