/wh/ - /w/

[Marsha Alley]

Right now I'm in Sutherlin, [hwich, lol] is just north of Roseburg.  I lived the last six years just inland from Coos Bay, and a few months in Eugene before that.  I didn't hear the southern influence in Eugene as it's a university town and a destination for a lot of Arizona, Nevada and California people.  I'm going to start asking these folks (my customers mostly) where their families hail from.
