My mom was born in 1930 in my grandparent's house on 17th Street 5 blocks west of the house where Wyatt Earp had lived and died one year earlier. It was the house we were living in when I was born.

You show a picture at the 58 second mark of a man that is not Earp. that is a picture taken in an unknown year at an unknown location by an unknown photographer of a random old guy with a mustache. Wyatt did NOT have sagging loose jowls as you see on this man. this picture is not Earp. I'm sure Dr David De Haas did not tell you that the picture is Wyatt. he is a solid researcher. this happens a lot with uninformed people like Pat. they have a great historian on their program and then they screw the program up by not consulting them about photos, or they add mythical points to a storyline without the researcher's input. the bad part is it reflects on the Historian / researcher that they have on their program.
