My  professor husband Albrecht Classen has been at the University of Arizona German Studies Dept. since August, 1987 and is an international scholar in his field and has published more than 95 books.

In January 2018 he was knighted by Maximilian, Duke of Swabia and his new title is “Grand Knight Commander of the Most Noble Order of the Three Lions”.  So that makes me (yours truly) a Lady.  What an honor and surprise.
