Christmas Cards Enduring Armstrong Tradition
Peggy Bailer profiles Thommie Armstrong who, with late Gen. George Armstrong, started sending Christmas cards in 1937. Their growing list reached 2000 by 1979, with foreign postage bills topping $600. The couple designed a wall hanging to manage the workload and kept personal notes, sustaining the custom after George’s death.
