Willis '37 and Elizabeth Adams '40 Armstrong
Willis "Bill" and Elizabeth "Betty" Armstrong have
committed themselves to the success of Colorado College for decades. As
a couple, they have attended and helped organize countless events for
alumni, including reunions and special events for both alumni-at-large
and the Fifty Year Club. They also support other college groups such as
the Aficionados, Friends of Tutt Library and the Woman's Educational Society.
Each has provided leadership to the alumni body over the years. Bill served
as President of both the Alumni Association (1954) and the Fifty Year
Club (1988-89), as well as class agent and as a member of the NAC Nominations
and Awards Committee (1990-91). Betty served as Secretary of the Fifty
Year Club (1993-94). In addition to these formal positions, the Armstrongs
have been important advisors to many alumni directors and other college
officials. Bill and Betty have offered important support as members of
the President's Council, joined family members to establish the Willis
R. and Dell Heizer Armstrong Family Memorial Book Fund, helped make the
NEH Endowment for the Humanities Distinguished Professorship a reality
and are members of the Barnes Society. Bill is a second generation CC
graduate, and the Armstrongs also have sent two daughters to the College.
It's a genuine pleasure for Colorado College to honor the Armstrongs with
a Worner Award. They are richly deserving of our appreciation for their
many years of loyalty and support.
