Father James
J. Doyle
1909 - 2001
Eventually to become, "Monsignor James J. Doyle"
Chaplain aboard the U.S.S. Hancock
-----
My photo station
on the U.S.S. Hancock was where the running water was located,
so it also became an emergency hospital. Father Doyle spent a
great deal of time there, providing support for the wounded men
--- and sometimes delivering them their last rights. He had the
qualities I was seeking in my work. I wanted to show, on film,
the extraordinary potential of the human mind. Many times,
Father Doyle sacrificed his own safety to protect someone else.
I once told him that he should be more careful, but he said, "If
my Father wants me elsewhere, there's no point in trying to
delay it."
