[Julie Denny]

Doktor in Germany is a title of honor. When you earn it, you use it. My
husband (we are American) and I lived in Germany for 9 years. He got his
doctorate in English Literature at Columbia while we were living there. When
he came back to his Frankfurt office, where he worked for an advertising
agency, after defending his dissertation in New York, they had hung a sign
outside his office, Dr. Clark.

He hated it and took it down.

They put it back up.

He took it down.

Finally, the only other Doktor in the office took him aside and asked him
please to put it back up. He explained that when my husband took the sign
down, it diminished the importance of Doktor's Oswald's title. My husband,
exceedingly fond of this wonderful gentleman, put it back up. But he was
never comfortable with it!
