Note: I changed the title of this thread after mistakenly thinking that Katharine Armstrong was the same person as Anne Armstrong, when in fact Anne is Katharine's mother.

Here's an interesting bio of Anne Armstrong.

Did he form his own club after getting kicked out of the Girl Haters Club? (and yes I know what alfalfa is).

She was apparently the one responsible for Chieney's VP'dency as they both worked at Halliburton and both were pals.


She is as evil as Dr Death is.

$5K in 1940 was quite the bit of money to pay for your daughter's high school.
