Veteran broadcaster Marshall Armstrong passes away

We have just received word that Marshall Armstrong, well remembered by local TV viewers from his days at CKY-TV, died suddenly last night. The investigative reporter still drew a wide audience with his weekly columns in the local Community Living publications in which he poked government bureauracracies of all stripes, and in particular at health authorities and officials. A fearless champion for the little guy, Marshall will be missed, and our deepest condolences go to his family.
