Comments: Was wondering if anyone had run across my father, Paul F. Barrett, who died back in 1976. As far as I know he worked below deck in engineering/maintenance. Being young kid when he passed (7 yrs old) I didn't get to know him too well and would like ot know if anyone ran across him. Also would enjoy knowing more about history of ship the USS Oglethorpe.
