Dear Dr. Dave and Dr. Dee, A former Governor from this state is now the CEO of my husband's company. There are various opinions as to how he should be addressed when spoken to: Governor, Governor Smith, Mr. Smith, or simply Jack. He seems to accept any of these. Which is most proper? Signed, Wondering Dear Wondering, The most proper way to address a former governor in person is to call him Governor Smith. But, if the former governor then says, "Oh, call me Jack." Then, it is polite to do so, thereafter. |
