I knew that I had advanced to candidacy for a PhD in philosophy at UCSB back in 1991, but I did not realize that I had earned a graduate degree and diploma from UCSB because of that.  I just found out a few weeks ago that I had earned a graduate degree and diploma from UCSB, and then I requested that UCSB send me my diploma. The diploma arrived in the mail today, about 29 and 1/2 years after I earned the degree!
