I do not know Mr. Duncan but from what I can tell he was a very amazing man. I am not quite sure if anyone will read this but if someone were to stumble upon it I hope it be one of his daughters or wife. My name is Stephanie and I am a Justice Studies major through the School od social transformation at ASU & I recently received a scholarship from the " Russell L Duncan Memorial Golf Classic and I just wanted to thank all the staff & especially Mr Duncan himself for creating such long lasting friendships with people who speak so highly of him and made this happen for me as well. I am beyond thankful.
