Full title:The backyard garage of Yam Okamuro in Glendale, California. Left to right, Mr. Okamuro, Dennis Okamuro (Mrs. Hara's
little nephew), Yoshitaro Okamuro (Yam's father), Mrs. Mary Hara (Yam's sister) and her husband, Kaz Hara. All come from Manzanar.
Rather than wait until he could get priorities for the steel construction required in a new garage building, Mr. Okamuro went
right ahead and set up his business in his backyard. A Caucasian friend furnished materials, and a Mexican friend rented him
the house. Yam and him sister both attended Glendale High School before the war.<lb/> Photographer: Mace, Charles E.<lb/>
