U of M professor to become Earl of Orkney
U of M political science professor Peter St John will inherit the 9th Earl of Orkney title after the death of the 8th Earl. He plans to retire in December and live with author Barbara Huck on 70 acres near Riding Mountain. He may not use the title until confirming seat in the House of Lords and notes the perch as a potential but unlikely full-time role.
