Arthur, "Art" Armbrust spent his childhood in the Boneyfiddle area of Portsmouth.  The First Presbyterian Church located in Boneyfiddle offered many activities at that time for the neighborhood children of which Art was one.  This was the beginning of a lifetime relationship between Art and the church.  Although his profession required that he live in multiple communities, he would always maintain contact with the current minister of the First Presbyterian Church. Upon his death in 1998 the church was notified that Art had endowed a fund to provide money for the Arthur A. Armbrust Student Loan Fund.  The church administers the Fund for the benefit of area students.
