   I thought this "letter to the editor" of my local paper might amuse:   
      
   To the editor:   
   "I would like to take issue with Drew Gomber’s 'Past Tense'   
   column dated March 18, 2005. In his usually accurate column,   
   Mr. Gomber makes the erroneous assertion that Cole Younger   
   was the leader of the James Gang. I’m surprised to see that   
   a historian of Mr. Gomber’s reputation would make such a basic   
   and obvious mistake.   
   I would think that even schoolboys know the leader of the   
   James Gang was Jesse James!   
   I’m hoping that there is some explanation other than ignorance   
   for this error, as I have always enjoyed Mr. Gomber’s stories in the past."   
      
   NOTE: Drew Gomber is the official historian for the Lincoln, NM   
   museum run by the state of New Mexico. He writes a weekly "old   
   west" column that is published in the Ruidoso News each Friday.
