Editor's note: Admittedly, I couldn't help myself. The juxtaposition of two articles in The Echo begged for a retort.

To the editor:
When my copy of this
week’s (November 7) Leavenworth Echo arrived, I immediately noted the Veteran’s
Day Salute, including an admiring tribute to Bill Cowles, a local Vietnam
veteran, written by fellow veteran Bill Forhan, editor of The Echo.
Unfortunately, the
warm feelings generated by the piece dissipated almost as immediately when I
saw the vile vitriol spewing from a letter to the editor written by -- you guessed it -- Bill Cowles,
castigating other letter writers for being “stupid” and “idiotic.”
Do you like apples,
Mr. Cowles? The Tea Party in this country has just been vanquished (some would
say swallowed whole) by “the changing face of America.” How do you like those
apples?
