A Nice Gun For A Baby

Yes, it’s an unusual photo op. This leads to many questions you may have. How’d the Associated Press find out about the newest Earp?  This baby is now 62: how has life been for him? But the only question I have is how did this ever make the news?

Meet The Newest Wyatt Earp
Redondo Beach, Calif. – This youngster, who came home from the hospital today with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Earp appears to know exactly what to do with the big six-shooter. And well he should, because he’s been named Wyatt Earp. His daddy, a metal polisher, claims to be kin  to the famous frontier marshal.  January 20, 1959 photo: AP Wirephoto
