Duehay "served in the U.S. Navy from 1955–1957, taught English at Belmont Senior High School in Belmont, Massachusetts from 1958–1959, and occupied several different positions at Harvard University from 1959–1964, including Acting Director of Admissions in the Graduate School of Education 1962–1963, and Assistant Dean in the Graduate School of Education 1964-1964."[2]
Duehay was a member of the Cambridge School Committee from 1964 to 1972. He served on the Cambridge City Council, including terms as mayor in 1980–81, 1985, and finally in 1998–99.[4]
He married Jane Kenworthy Lewis in 1991. She is his only surviving immediate family member, and had retired in 2013 as assistant clerk for the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court.[3]
