  • She must be using the royal "we" because I could give a flip about being addressed as "Dr. Stevenson" either. But everyone is different and it is nice to respect that. PS At our Continuing Ed school, it is possible to earn a masters degree in Disaster Science (I am not making this up). How cool would it be to earn that degree? I would do an about-face and DEFINITELY insist that everyone address me as "Chris Stevenson, Master of Disaster." I'll sign up for calling you that whether you have the degree or not! :D
