HELLO,
Alva D was my grandfather. I would like to know if you were related to him as well. (My Dad was Chester Lee McGuire). I am interested in his career as an Attorney as well. I know he served as a judge in Riverside, Ca. and was a commissioner for Indian affairs as well. He lived in Elsinore, Ca at one point too. I don't have much information on him and I was only 9 yrs old when he died.
I would love to see the photo you have referenced here,

Rendi Ames (McGuire)
