Description
Full title:Yam Okamuro has set up his garage business in the backyard of the home rented to him by his friend, Pvt. Pete Alamillo (now on furlough from Camp Roberts, and shown at extreme left). Next to Mr. Alamillo is Yam's father, Yoshitaro; Mrs. Mary Hara, Yam's sister; Mary's husband, Kaz Hara; Mary's little nephew, Dennis; and Yam Okamuro. All come from Manzanar. Before the war Yam and Mary both attended Glendale High School. Finding priorities hard to get for steel construction required in a new garage building, Mr. Okamuro went ahead and started business back of his house. A Caucasian friend furnished materials, and a Mexican friend rented him the house. Photographer: Mace, Charles E. Glendale, California.
