Thank you for passing this info along - it would be helpful if all of the local TV/Radio stations required this as reading before letting a new person go on air....hee hee

I was cleaning house today <gasp> and came across a little book that I don’t think anyone has mentioned.
 
Oregon Names, how to say them and where are they located?: an illustrated pronunciation guide (1995)
 
Bert Webber
Webb Research Group Publishers
195 North Ninth
Central Point, OR 97502
 
Some may recall that Bert and his wife Margie were authors of several other books related to Oregon.
 
I just checked their web-site and  see that the price is $9.95.

All the usual blah, blah, -- no, I don’t know them, not related, just have a few of their books. Matter of fact, I see they have a new one on the Siskiyou Line. I’ll have to order that for dear husband, maybe for his birthday. – Oh, never mind, I turned around, and there it was, sitting on his book shelf. That’s a problem in our house, no one “waits” for anything. Instant gratification it is. At our ages, waiting isn’t quite as much fun as at age four. <sigh>
