My first time to attend an Alabama Women’s Hall of Fame installation was in 2015, for Kathyrn Tucker Windham. It was at the lovely (closed last year) Judson College in Marion, Alabama. The school was established in 1838.
Lunch was served on this pretty Judson motif china
I am beyond thrilled to report that after months of work, I turned in the application nominating Alice Finch Lee back in August, and heard last month (it was embargoed ’til December 1) that she will be inducted in the 2023 AWHoF on March 1.
She was one of the first female lawyers in the state of Alabama, and when she retired at 100, was the oldest practicing attorney in the state. I sent just an incredible list of her merits in the application.
(Fun fact: she was Nelle Harper Lee’s older sister, and that’s the Old Courthouse Museum in Monroeville in the pic above, the model for the final scenes in TKAM)
So so so happy that Miss Alice will be inducted into the 2023 AWHoF. Yay!!
