Long time CBC staffer Craig Armstrong dies at 86

Long-time CBC News staffer  Craig Armstrong died last Thursday in Picton, Ontario. He was 86.
He was one of the first CBC TV reporters and then a producer. His last assignment for many years was running the syndication service ENS (Evening News Service).
His big scoop was in the 60s  when he got an interview with the International Longshoremen Union boss Hal Banks by simply walking up to him and asking if they could talk.
