NEW ERA

The Dec. 13 editorial was headed "Armstrong served state and city well" and goes on to say: "The job's important, but the day you leave office you'll be forgotten pretty quickly, easily." The New Era went on to say "That won't be true of Armstrong. He served eight years in the House and 24 in the Senate and accomplished more than most of his peers."

WATCHDOG: If it weren't for the need to sell the naming right, we would propose "The Gibson Armstrong Convention Center." Then, over the years, Armstrong would be assured of the recognition that he merits.

Talk about poetic justice!
