My grandfather was one of the first realtors in Riverside and my other grandfather bushwhacked the first dirt "road" from Riverside down to Balboa Island where he started a little boat club.....my grandmother made sandwiches for James Cagney and Shirley Temple etc.....
The story of how Irvine got so much prime real estate - Irvine sent out his four sons on their horses and they got to own all the property they could cover on horseback in a single day. (!)
Alas. Southern California became such a maze of freeways by the time I was 19, I hitchhiked up to Alaska and only returned to poor old SoCal for a few years here and there.
Happy Birthday to your beautiful daughter! What an interesting history, and she will surely appreciate the good upbringing and great lineage she hails from one day! Keep up your good and just work Albert 🙏❤️
