Dad had enclosed the porch out back which included 9 windows. Dad also had a room built on the back of the carport which was his office. Now it is a room for Admir’s sister during college break and he was in process of putting in a bathroom. The porch area was his office. He has a transport business and seems to be doing well.

The back yard is now bi-level, used to be just a slope. The clothesline is still there; the waterfall mom built is not. The lilacs are there on the left, but trimmed back. The shed is still there but in need of repair. He said his mom comes and plants a garden every year in the lower part. That back fence is still there (the one Blacky (the cat) hung himself on when we moved there in 1969).

The Westland Baptist Church facilities out back and across the street are up for sale. Where they moved, I don’t know. Admir also said that Lakewood High School was rebuilt. We did not go see it for lack of time.
