This photo taken in 2001, shows Dr. Thomas Ware in his office at Tennessee at Chattanooga. Dr. Ware served in the Navy from 1949-1953 as an aviation photographer and was stationed in Hawaii were he photographed Pearl Harbor several times and also baseball great Ted Williams. Ware followed baseball-great-turned-Navy-pilot Capt. Williams around Honolulu. The pictures are of special interest because they were taken by Ware, then a U.S. Navy photographer, who had been assigned the enviable task of documenting Williams' visit on his way to Korea.
