Gerry Armstrong (activist)

Gerald "Gerry" Armstrong is a former member of the Church of Scientology and one of its most active critics. In 1980, the Church assigned Armstrong, then a member of the Church's elite Sea Org, to organize some personal papers of L. Ron Hubbard that were to serve as the basis of a new biography of Hubbard. A non-Scientologist Omar Garrison had been hired to write the book. As part of his assignment, Armstrong also requested Hubbard's war records from the Navy and his transcripts from George Washington University.
