Hello, I'm Ed Armstrong and I've been a practicing attorney in Missouri for over 47 years.  On a more personal note, I've been married to my wife, Kathleen (a middle school language arts teacher), for 47 years, we have two adult daughters, Emily and Allison and, at this time, three grandchildren, Quillan, age 15,  Rosie, Age 12 and Luca, age 4 1/2 . Both of our daughters have Masters Degrees.  Emily is a graduate of Amherst College (B.A. Max. Cum Laude) and New York University (M.A.) and Allison is a graduate of Regis University in Denver (B.A.)and and Maryville University in St. Louis( M.A.).   I love to read and, when the opportunity presents itself, I like to travel. One of my favorite cities is Charleston, South Carolina.  I've been in all the states except seven (I won't say which seven) and to a couple of other countries.  I think beaches are great, at least when it's sunny and there are no storms on the horizon.  I've lived in St. Louis since about 1963 and before that in the Chicago area (I was born in Chicago).  I enjoy Spring, Summer and Fall and really don't much care for Winter (odd for a Chicago native?).  I have been on the adjunct faculties at Fontbonne University in St. Louis and Maryville University in St. Louis since 1988.  I have been on the adjunct faculty of the American Intercontinental University since 2010.  I teach Business Law and Tax Law.
