New Mexico Gets No Respect
Published: May/June 2006

Every month when my New Mexico Magazine arrives, I turn to the last page immediately to read the "One of Our Fifty is Missing" feature that has amusing anecdotes about where New Mexico has been [mis]placed or left off a map. Sometimes even the U.S. Post Office tries to charge a foreign rate for postage [to New Mexico].

Now The Saturday Evening Post, May/June '05, has moved one of our national monuments to Arizona. Chaco Canyon National Monument is located northwest of Albuquerque.

Thank you for my submission to New Mexico Magazine, "One of Our Fifty is Missing."

Albuquerque, New Mexico
