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: Supplementary Note: Please read, if possible, before your return from Yosemite. And please allow ample time to ensure that you get back early enough on Wednesday that we shall not have to be subject to the stress of rushing. I would urge trying for 3:00 o’clock rather than 4:00. I will gladly take you back for another weekend if you wish it later - it would be my pleasure - and I’d allow you full freedom to use the time according to your own desires - ‘twould be much preferable to your rushing and taking undesirable risks now.
