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.
Dear Patricia: I’ll be going to Palo Alto tomorrow morning. The Peninsula School in Menlo Park - attended by Mrs. Rigter’s son, Johnny, to whom I have become an idolized person, is having open house, and I feel somewhat obliged to go. However, I’ll be back in the early P.M. so will be available to take you to and from the clinic in the afternoon. If I have the time I might get out to the house, in which case I may bring a little table back as you suggested. I’ll see you at 3:30 as usual. I enjoyed the “broasted chicken dinner” with you. Shall we go to our weekly dinner directly from the clinic as we did a week or so ago - or from your apartment? Either is O.K. for me - However it works out best for you. Love - Carl.
