Paul S. LaFollette

I've been going through my dad's papers and photos. His name was Paul S. LaFollette, and he was the ship's physician on the Collett from the time it was commissioned through the end of the war. He was an enthusiastic photographer and left some photos of the ship and his colleagues. I am attaching some of them, and also some other documents in hopes that they may be of use or interest to you. Sadly, he did not leave much documentation about when or where his photos were taken, nor the names of the subjects, so I cannot share many other details with you.
