Dr. Carl. D. Duncan (1895-1966), former SJSU professor and chairman of the National Science Department, began his career at San Jose State College in 1922. During his tenure he mentored many students, and between the years 1964-1966, he mentored Patricia Carpio (Whiting), a student in the Humanities & Art. Whiting worked for Dr. Duncan, who served as the secretary of the Field Studies program at that time. Whiting went on to become the first Filipino woman elected to the Oregon State Legislature, serving three terms from 1972-1978, and a community activist and beloved leader. Duncan and Whiting maintained a long-term friendship that lasted until his death in 1966. Patricia Whiting died at age 69 on July 1, 2010 of cancer. She is survived by her husband Vincent Whiting.
Dearest Patricia: I met the Shilken’s on the way out of the Morris Dailey and didn’t get away from Mrs. Shilken for another 20 minutes, or I’d have tried to phone you earlier. I’m going to Leroy’s on S. Second now for dinner. I’ll try to reach you again when I get back. A meal there doesn’t take as long as Original Joe’s. If I don’t get you - please phone me when you get in - just for 3 minutes or so I’d like to talk with you. Love, as always - Carl And I hope you do better than your fondest dreams on your exam tomorrow.
