I was furious. Karla did nothing, but I don't know what she could have done.
I was standing there, and I wasn't introduced at all, but that didn't make me nearly as angry as Karla not getting the same respect as the two guys there at the time.
My dissertation advisor & her husband both graduated from Wisconsin. She said the alumni mail sent to her husband is addressed as Dr. while hers is Mrs. She laughed about it, but she was a bit chuffed about it, too.

Karla's hubby or the other person should have taken the opportunity to refer to her as Dr. So-and-so.
