WHERE DO WE LIVE? by Steve Hutchens, Historian Have you ever wondered how MOGNW members are distributed throughout our Pacific Northwest territory? Recently I found that I could import an address database into Microsoft Streets and Trips and identify each member with a dot on a map. I ran the concept by Bob Hauge and in a few minutes had a membership directory in Excel. A few minutes later the map below emerged based on the information Bob sent. We tend to be concentrated in metropolitan areas, but there are quite a few spread out as well. It looks like we should have members in western Montana. Does anyone know any Morgan owners there? British Columbia: 62 members Alberta: 4 members Washington: 43 members Oregon: 32 members Idaho: 3 members NW-Mogazine Volume 33, Number 3 <strong>May</strong> & June 2013 15
