Shout Out! 🎉

Correction: Andrea Gaytan was incorrectly identified last week as the Dean of the SCC West Sacramento Center. She is the Dean at the SCC Davis Center.

Congratulations to Davis Center Dean Andrea Gaytan for being featured in the California Aggie in their feature recognizing influential women in the Davis community.

“Gaytan currently works with UC Davis and Sacramento City College on the California volunteer service grants project. She said that this project will connect students to volunteer opportunities with different nonprofit and public agencies in the sustainability, basic needs and K-12 education sectors. For their work, students would receive living stipends. Gaytan said that working on this project feels like a culminating moment in her career.”

Passing of a Colleague

DUANE DAVID WILSON was born in Mitchell, SD at the height of the Dust Bowl. His family left the Midwest for better opportunities in Oregon when he was 2 years old. Despite living in 'poor' farming locales as a child, his parents instilled in Duane the benefits of education. Duane graduated at the top of his high school class in Silverton, OR, and then went on to Oregon State University where he studied Wildlife Management, eventually becoming a Game Warden for the State of Oregon. From there he followed his passion to learn about social deviance and enrolled as a Graduate Student at the University of California, Berkeley’s Criminal Justice program. He graduated with Honors and then completed half of the credit hours necessary for a Ph.D. in Criminal Justice.

Duane worked for a time for the Berkeley Police Department. He began teaching for Sacramento City College in 1965, eventually earning the position of Department Chair for the college's Criminal Justice Department. He ran for Sheriff of Sacramento County in 1970, helping to unseat the then incumbent. Duane continued with the college until 1983 when he left to go into private business.

In 1994 he returned to public education, working for Sacramento City Unified as a Social Science teacher at Luther Burbank HS. He retired as a high school teacher with the Winters Joint Unified School District in 2007.

Upon retirement, Duane kept his teaching passion alive with teaching assignments from Brandman University and DeVry University, teaching online in the Justice Administration programs for both universities. He also wrote and successfully published a fiction-based-on- fact novel about an unsolved series of rapes and murders in California. TERROR at 3 AM was published in 2015.

Duane was an avid gardener and a competitive chess player until he passed unexpectedly in his garden of a brain aneurysm on March 31.

He is survived by his partner of 30 years, Allison Miller, of Rocklin, CA. Other survivors include children: Becky Lederer (Tony), a retired Sac County Deputy Sheriff; Carla Mackiney (Robert), Barrick Wilson, Jesse Wilson (Lisa ) current DA of Nevada County, CA. Other surviving children include Erin Brock, Dana Miller Allen, and Barry Miller.

He was also blessed by a number of grandchildren: Ashleigh, Brennan, Haylee, Eli, Matthew, Nicholas, Emily, Brenna, Carissa, Jake, Abby Grace, Sophia, Timothy John, Jack Duane (JD), Reed, Riley, Laine, and Sidney.

A celebration of life will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, May 14 at the Gables Clubhouse at Springfield (2801 Springfield Dr., Rocklin, CA).
