To everyone who thankfully responded to my original request for information about Eric Armstrong. You might be interested to know that today I received the obituary for Eric Armstrong which was very interesting and confirmed that - as well as being a coal miner - Eric was also a musician. My mother had always told me that Eric was a Maestro of Music and had diplomas and certificates for his musical achievements. Luckily, I have a photograph of Eric with his violin. As Eric was a coal miner and the son of a Seaman, it was difficult to believe that he really was an accomplished music and violin teacher, as stated on his marriage certificate to his first wife. However, the obituary stated that Eric was an authority on music and he had composed several songs as well as writing frequent articles for newspapers and magazines. The obituary also confirmed that he was survived by a son and a daughter. On June 27th I am having a letter published with a photograph of Eric in the Advocate. Without all of your help I may never have discovered any of this and I am very grateful to you all. Thanks again. Kind regards, Jill Wiseman
