Bart Duff, 75, of Puerto
Princesa City, Philippines,
passed away on October
13, 2016, in Manila from
post-surgery complications
following treatment for
colon cancer. Bart was born
October 21, 1940, in Pend-
leton, Oregon, to William
Jack and Lilly Ruth
(Thompson) Duff
of Adams. While
at Pendleton High
School, he served as
student body presi-
dent, graduating in
1958. He attended
Washington State
University
and
Stanford Univer-
sity, where he
earned degrees in Duff
agriculture engi-
neering (BS, 1962),
agricultural
economics
(MS, 1966), and applied
economics and agricultural
development (MS, 1970).
In the midst of his
academic endeavors, Bart
joined a newly formed
volunteer program called
the Peace Corps in 1962 and
was part of the second group
of young Americans to be
sent abroad. During his two
years in Punjab, Pakistan, he
installed irrigation wells and
trained mechanics, laying the
groundwork for what would
become a lifetime of uncon-
ditional service. From 1970-
1990, Bart worked as an
agricultural economist for the
International Rice Research
Institute (IRRI) at Los
Baños, Laguna, Philippines,
where he pioneered research
on the role of women in rice
production. He was also
a major contributor in the
development of small-scale
mechanical threshers, which
are still being used today. The
work he did during his time
at IRRI benefited millions
of impoverished smallholder
farmers around the world.
Following his retirement
from IRRI in 1990, he and his
family moved to Pendleton
where he started a computer
consulting business called
Petra Systems. He and his
wife Baby eventually moved
back to the Philippines in
‘The Brady Bunch’ matriarch
Florence Henderson dies at 82
LOS ANGELES (AP) —
Florence Henderson, who
went from Broadway star
to become one of America’s
most beloved television
moms in “The Brady Bunch,”
has died. She was 82.
Henderson died at Cedars-
Sinai Medical Center in Los
Angeles on Thursday night,
a day after she was hospi-
talized, said her publicist,
David Brokaw. Henderson
had suffered heart failure,
her manager Kayla Pressman
said in a statement.
Family and friends had
surrounded
Henderson’s
hospital bedside, Pressman
said.
On the surface, “The
Brady
Bunch”
with
Henderson as its ever-
cheerful matriarch Carol
Brady resembled just another
TV sitcom about a family
living in suburban America
and getting into a different
wacky situation each week.
But well after it ended its
initial run in 1974, the show
resonated with audiences,
and it returned to television
in various forms again and
again, including “The Brady
Bunch Hour” in 1977, “The
Brady Brides” in 1981 and
“The Bradys” in 1990. It was
also seen endlessly in reruns.
“It represents what people
always wanted: a loving
family. It’s such a gentle,
innocent, sweet show, and
I guess it proved there’s
always an audience for that,”
Henderson said in 1999.
Premiering in 1969, it also
was among the first shows to
introduce to television the
blended family. As its theme
song reminded viewers each
week, Henderson’s Carol
was a single mother raising
three daughters when she
met her TV husband, Robert
Reed’s Mike Brady, a single
father who was raising three
boys.
The eight of them became
“The Brady Bunch,” with a
quirky housekeeper, played
by Ann B. Davis, thrown
into the mix.

In this May 2015 photo, actress Florence Henderson
spoke during the Alzheimer’s Association, Orange
County’s 9th annual Visionary Women Luncheon at
Rancho Las Lomas in Silverado, Calif.
The blond, ever-smiling
Henderson was already a
Broadway star when the
show began, having orig-
inated the title role in the
musical “Fanny.” But after
“The Brady Bunch,” she
would always be known to
fans as Carol Brady.
She returned in 1995 when
a new cast was assembled for
“The Brady Bunch Movie,”
a playful spoof of the original
show. This time she was
Grandma Brady opposite
Shelley Long’s Carol.
Henderson
was
a
19-year-old drama student in
New York when she landed
a one-line role in the play
“Wish You Were Here.”
Richard Rodgers and
Oscar Hammerstein II were
so impressed they made her
the female lead in a 1952
road tour of “Oklahoma!”
When the show returned to
Broadway for a revival in
1954, she continued in the
role and won rave reviews.
She went on to play
Maria in a road production of
“The Sound of Music,” was
Nellie Forbush in a revival
of “South Pacific” and was
back on Broadway with Jose
Ferrer in “The Girl Who
Came to Supper” in 1963.
As her TV career blos-
somed with “The Brady
Bunch,” Henderson also
began to make frequent
TV guest appearances. She
was the first woman to host
“The Tonight Show” for the
vacationing Johnny Carson.
For eight years she also
commuted to Nashville to
conduct a cooking and talk
series, “Country Kitchen,”
on The Nashville Network.
The show resulted in a book,
“Florence Henderson’s Short
Cut Cooking.”
After “The Brady Bunch”
ended its first run, Henderson
alternated her appearances
in revivals of the show with
guest appearances on other
programs, including “Hart to
Hart,” “Fantasy Island” and
“The Love Boat.”
Florence
Agnes
Henderson was born Feb.
14, 1934, in the small town
of Dale in southern Indiana.
She was the 10th child of a
tobacco sharecropper of Irish
descent.
Henderson
married
theater executive Ira Bern-
stein and the couple had four
children before the union
ended in divorce after 29
years.
Her second husband,
John Kappas, died in 2002.
Pressman said she is
survived by her children,
Barbara, Joseph, Robert and
Lizzie, their spouses and five
grandchildren.
2002, building a home in
Puerto Princesa, Palawan.
Although “retired,” Bart
was an energetic volunteer
in the local community there
— among many things, he
headed the Puerto Princesa
Chamber of Commerce
and led the development
of the Palawan
Ecological Adven-
ture Trail. He was
also a passionate
advocate for clean
and
renewable
energy, successfully
lobbying
against
the building of a
local coal plant
on
Palawan.
He organized a
commemoration
and memorial for
the WWII Palawan
liberation by the Oregon
National
Guard’s
41st
Infantry Division, honoring
the memory of 139 American
POWs who were massacred
there by the Japanese shortly
before the liberation.
A Celebration of Life for
Bart was held at the Legend
Hotel on October 23 in Puerto
Princesa, with approximately
250 people in attendance.
An unusually generous but
modest man, Bart probably
would have been mortified to
hear all the wonderful things
that were said about him.
He is survived by his wife
Paz Aurora (Baby) Katon
Duff of Puerto Princesa;
his son Aaron Eliot Duff of
Dallas, Texas; his daughter
Shannon Ruth Duff of
Portland, Ore.; and brothers
Duane Duff of Silverdale,
Wash., Jim Duff of Pend-
leton, Ore., and Dr. Wolfgang
Spiess of Alpen, Germany.
He is also survived by the
countless individuals that he
mentored and inspired. He
will be terribly missed.
Memorial contributions
may be made to The Union
of Concerned Scientists,
AFS Intercultural Programs
(formerly known as the
American Field Service), and
The Ruth T. Duff Scholar-
ship Fund at Blue Mountain
Community College Foun-
dation.

Hidaway Springs, and she
worked as a ranch hand on
her family’s farm south of

Howard Haley who was a
soldier in the U.S. Army.
After World War II, they
lived and farmed in the Pilot

her family and activities at
Peace Lutheran Church in
Pendleton.
Lucile was preceded in
death by her parents, Karl
and Rosie, sisters Marguerite
and Phroenie, her husband
Howard, and her son James.
Lucile is survived by her
twin sister Louisa Krosting
of Pendleton. She is also
survived by daughter Merva
Haley of Wasco, and Merva’s
children — Keith Asher,

Brian Asher and
Rodney
Asher.
Additionally, Lucile

Pendleton, his wife
Sandy Haley, and
their children —

brated at 4 p.m. on December
