Duane graduated from Washburn with a degree in physics. He went to work for the department of the Navy doing weapons testing in California. Duane and I grew up about a block apart and he took me to THS in his 1948 Chevrolet until I moved away. His father informed me that he had died of cancer about 1985 after a very short illness. He was a quiet person but he sure liked to laugh. He looked me up around 1981 when I was doing research at the VA in Topeka.
