He he.....I believe Oregon is pronounced *Or-i-gen*. That's how I've always said/heard it. I thought I might be wrong so I checked dictionary.com, and according to that, *Or-i-gen* is the correct pronunciation. He he. Maybe people in other parts of the country say it differently though. I tried saying it as *Organ* and it just didn't sound right!
