The day Dr. Roberto Montenegro finished his Ph.D. was memorable. But not for the right reasons.
"I still cringe when I think about it," says Montenegro.
It had started well. His colleagues at UCLA had taken him and his girlfriend (now wife) out to a fancy restaurant to celebrate.
"I was dressed up in the fanciest suit I had at the time and my wife looked beautiful, like always," he says. "We laughed and we ate and we were excited we didn't have to pay for this."
