    My husband is Wyatt’s great great grand nephew and his father still does world tours doing one man plays about Wyatt’s life and Doc. We’ve got lots of the original Wyatt’s stuff too. So cool that he’s not as forgotten as we thought. Thank you!

    I live near those cemeteries. Earp's gravestone was stolen a couple of times but the present one goes way deep into the ground. No theft since the 1990's

    Val Kilmer should have gotten an Oscar for that movie. It was incredible. One of my all time favorite movies.
    Val had so many classic one-liners in that movie.

    For starters, you guys are so awesome with the respect you always emanate every time you visit a cemetery. You two Rock! It was very cool seeing into that mausoleum so clearly too! Joe DiMaggio's grave was an unexpected treat, respectfully. Thank you, Micheal and Jessica, for taking us here with you. Stay well. ✌

    I got a bit choked up to see Abigail Folger’s final resting place. She was so young… The story of the Tate/LaBianca murders and how Abigail died still gets to me and I never knew her.
    If you want to see a beautiful cemetery closer to home, you should go to Forest Lawn in Glendale. My Grandma Anne died in 1980 very tragically at just 42, the age I am now. She’s resting on a hill there with a beautiful view near the Court of Freedom. There’s a long list of celebrities resting at the Glendale Forest Lawn including Walt Disney, Clark Gable, Bette Davis, Liberace, Elizabeth Taylor, George Burns, Sammy Davis Jr., Brittany Murphy (just to name a few). Michael Jackson is there as well in the Holly Terrace Mausoleum. The place makes for a good adventure day and isn’t too far from Griffith Park.
    Thank you for another great video.
    RIP Abigail Folger

      Same since my grandad died in 1976 I never really got to know him. I'm almost 48. I do put flowers on both my grandparents and my father who passed away in 2020. The cemetery is on a hill so a bench I sit on, you get a lot of sunlight especially in the summer sitting there peacefully 🥀

    Now you're in my neck of the woods! I'm a third generation native of San Francisco. I have two generations of relatives buried in Colma! My grandfather grew up around the corner from Joe DiMaggio, at Jones & Chestnut Streets. Joe used to call my grandfather "Mooney." I never asked why. And the last time they saw each other was at San Quentin State Penitentiary in 1937. My grandfather said that Joe came to meet prisoners and sign autographs and set up real games the teams would play with the prisoners as a morale booster. My grandfather, being an inmate at the time, was embarrassed to be seen by Joe; but Joe found him in the yard and hugged him. My grandfather said he cried and wanted to go home with Joe that day!
