As an editor who poked holes in stories, a mentor to young reporters, a columnist who fought for civil rights and a reporter who exposed an adoption scandal, Armstrong earned the respect of his peers for his high standards, integrity and willingness to give back to the newspaper business. His newspaper career in Nevada, first at the old Reno Evening Gazette and then at the Las Vegas Sun, spanned nearly 30 years before he left the profession in 1977. He was the Sun’s executive editor from 1962-1977.
