In 1963 he graduated from the University of Minnesota with a Master of Public degree which led to a job in Olympia with the State Department, where he worked until 1977. He moved back to Spokane as the director of a health systems agency. He retired at age 50 from state government and became interested in politics, to the point of running for the office of State Representative of Spokane's 6th district. Duane was passionate about helping his constituents and served a total of 14 years, from 1986 to 2000. In 2002 he was elected as Spokane Assessor and resigned in 2004 to care for Mae, who had Alzheimer's Disease. Mae died, Duane experienced two years of loneliness until he met Ellen. Duane said "Ellen was the miracle that came into my life." In the three years of their marriage they traveled widely with trips to Europe, Hawaii, and Alaska. She was by his side at the end. Together they shared a strong Christian faith. Duane came to his faith as a young child. His mother was ordained as a minister by Aimee Semple McPherson, the famous tent-meeting evangelist. Duane had the gift of gab. Encountering a stranger was, for him, an opportunity to explore unknown territory. Duane relished the spoken word; a well turned phrase would frequently cause him to tear up, or give him a catch in his voice when he retold it. Words people used to describe him are integrity, honesty, gentlemanly, opinionated, mentor to many, handsome, generous, strong leader. A favorite life verse of Duane's was Romans 8:28: We know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose.
