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: If you get home by 5:00, phone and tell me about your exams. I leave at 5:00 for the evening but may be reached after 8:30 at 968-0418 if there’s any need for it. Which means if you wish it. Tomorrow morning I see Mr. Bunchill about the contract for 457 Los Padres. Couldn’t see him today. I have my books back in the cases but will leave the magazines and notebooks till I come back [over] from Lassen. I’ve cancelled out of Fallen Leaf, but I’ll run over and see the group at Asilomar (and I’ll think of you at your desk in the room at the south end of the building). As always -- Carl
