86. And the point is?
I'm asking why your post describes it as a "Phantam Ph.D."--as if there is something mysteriously nefarious about having a father begin a Ph.D. program that he never finishes.

You could populate a large state with people who started on Ph.D. programs and left with a masters. I'm not sure why that makes it "phantom." It just means you completed enough coursework/field work to get a master's, but never wrote your dissertation.
