Duane’s life began on July 1, 1934 in El Dorado, KS; the son of John and Marcet (Wallace) Dauber. He quit high school and joined the Air Force where he proudly served his country. He worked for several service stations in the El Dorado area. Many people followed Duane from station to station because of his excellent service. He ran the service station at Central and Haverhill for quite some time. Duane was united in marriage to Elva Davis on March 19, 1959 in Miami, OK. Duane went on to work as a custodian for El Dorado Middle School and then at the college in the student union. He then transferred into the maintenance department and was promoted to the Technical Service Supervisor. He oversaw plumbing, electrical work, carpentry, locksmithing services and caring for the college’s vehicle fleet.
