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 for 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."
