AMONG THE LARGEST: This 18-ton granite monument at The Happy Hunting Ground Memorial Park for Pets near South Lyon is reputed to be one of the largest single pieces of monument stone in Michigan. In front of the memorial rests "Platoon Sergeant Sparks," a dog that served three years in the Pacific Theater during World War II and received seven citations, three personally by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The dog was alive and present when the monument was dedicated in 1946.

AFTER: Willow Run airlines spent more than $700,000 for an expansion-renovation project at the terminal in 1957 as the first phase of a still-uncompleted $1,500,000 improvement program. The renovation was not authorized, however, until after American Airlines had announced it would switch to Wayne county's then-vacant airport. The terminal work included installation of an attractive false ceiling, new seating and flooring and other major improvements. Further large-scale expansion presumably will come if the seven present Willow Run carriers decide to remain at the Washtenaw airfield.
