4/24/17 Group Watch: Former House Speaker Joe McCorquodale Dead at 96

It was announced last week that former Alabama House Speaker Joseph C. McCorquodale had died on Monday at the age of 96. Speaker McCorquodale, a native of Clarke County, was a member of the Alabama House of Representative for 24 years. He was House Speaker from 1975 to 1983. He ran for governor in 1982 but lost to George C. Wallace. Current Governor Kay Ivey was a House reading clerk when McCorquodale was speaker and says he set a high bar for honest leadership. He was also a veteran of World War II.
