Was he just a humble man who refused to be honored? I think it's safe to say though that a statue with a boll weevil is more interesting than a statue of a man. I wonder if enterprise has boll weevil festivals and if children dress up as boll weevils for Halloween. There are some great marketing opportunities there.Christine H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09786732494496282743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323012003780250968.post-48116108979788532542011-03-22T11:58:54.152-07:002011-03-22T11:58:54.152-07:00I'd heard of the boll weevil and its effect on...I'd heard of the boll weevil and its effect on cotton but would never have suspected that it would have been so honoured.
