Summary

In this bonus interview I talk with Melba Larson Matson. She is the owner of the Wyatt Earp Birthplace Museum. We talk about Wyatt's younger days and some fun stories. I absolutely loved talking to her because of the knowledge she has on Wyatt Earp. I am also posting a link to the gofundme page. At the end of the interview you'll find out why I'm posting this link. I hope you enjoy!!
