Note: 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.
Transcript: Dearest Patricia: Disregard my other note. My evening commitment is not going to materialize, so I’ll be at home the rest of the afternoon and evening. And I’ll welcome a buzz from you any time you get in. Your loving elf - Carl. [over] The tomatoes are part of some that were given to me by Clarice (Mrs. Frank) Gale. I had a waffle breakfast and nice visit with them this morning.
