Marshall - The Birthplace of Boogie Woogie Marker Dedication Ceremony

Dr. John Tennison, Keynote Speaker.

Tennison gave a special thanks to Alan Loudermilk, a local patent attorney who restored the former Ginocchio Hotel, located next to Marshall Depot, turning it into a fine dining restaurant that sells Loudermilk`s own trademarked "Boogie Woogie" beer.

"I especially want to thank Alan Loudermilk for having allowed the marker to be placed at this location and having done the physical and highly efficient work to get it placed here. The marker has been placed near the historic Texas and Pacific Depot in a location where you can both see the marker and have the (Marshall) Depot in the backdrop, which will hopefully make for many great photographs," said Tennison.
