STATE TYPING CONTEST

While in high school, Morgan placed fifth in the Oklahoma State Typing Contest. Since contestants were required to compete on manual typewriters (remember, this was in the late sixties), Morgan trained on them while the rest of her typing class used electrics. Even with that handicap, she was the fastest typist at her school.

NAME THAT BIZ CONTEST

In the late 1980s, Morgan won
a "Name that Business" contest in her hometown.
