The Editor's Desk

Somewhere out there is a gentleman who writes us letters to the editor on a fairly frequent basis. I’m not going to name him because it’s absolutely not my intention to embarrass him.

His letters are very thoughtful and interesting, and I enjoy running them. However, they’re always addressed to “editor Hans K. Meyer” who left the Desert Dispatch way back in 2004.

It amuses me to get one his letters when I’m sitting around being far too overly concerned about what I’m going to say in my next editorial. People read the newspapers for a variety of reasons, and most of them have absolutely nothing to do with anything I do.
