If you are from Oregon this is probably no big surprise... According to one of the native Willamette residents, Willamette is not pronounced will-a-mette, at least not by her anyway, and not according to the the dictionary either. Totally unbeknownst to hayseeds like myself, it is actually pronounced wi-lam-it, or you can write that with the ligature ae in place of the a. My confession...Besides having a difficult time with Allende for some time, I had the name Willamette wrong too. This makes me wonder what other meteorites names I am mispronouncing.

Okay, I give up,  who can help me with Berduc?

Mike in CO
