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’m glad you’ve found it possible to reason yourself into an extra day. I’ll be over at the college most of the afternoon. I’ll call you when I get back just in case you should have returned. Your mom is quite anxious to talk to you - but she always is - she loves you so much! Leon got registered in Santa Clara High this morning. The news story on Washington with our picture is scheduled to appear in this P.M.’s news. I’ll get an armful of copies. Am looking forward to dinner with you and hearing about your flying. The best as always -- Carl
