When I traveled to Winnipeg to visit Kelly, I felt like he was related to everyone. Everywhere we went, there was a Klassen Bakery or a Klassen Real Estate Agency and even Kelly's financial advisor is a Klassen. The name is so common it's like Smith to those of us from the States.
Here in Texas it is not pronounced as Klassen similar to Lawson, but rather Klassen like Class + in!
Only in Texas! :)
if i didn't hear it before i saw it, i'll admit, i'd probably have said 'class-in' too! hehe.
ReplyDeletei think it's because there's no 'u' in it.
but don't worry...people mess up my last name all the time too. :)
