We're sorry to say goodbye: Terry Earp

On February 15, 2019, we lost a true Friend of
Hart Park, Ms. Terry Earp. She along with her
husband, Wyatt Earp (the great-nephew of the
famous OK Corral gunfighter and lawman) have
both given generously and tirelessly of their
talents to William S. Hart Park.

They performed up here on at least 7 occasions
from a nighttime Campgrounds campfire
performance to filling the Mansion for Cowboy
Festival, always selling out. On one occasion,
their performance even brought Hugh O'Brien,
TVs "Life and Legend Of Wyatt Earp", out to the
Mansion. Hugh spontaneously got up and spoke
to the sold-out crowd on how wonderful they
were and reflected on shooting the series at
Melody Ranch.

Terry was the author of their play as well as
performing in it as Mrs. Wyatt Earp. Never taking
any money, they traveled from Arizona on their
own and donated all of the proceeds back to 1
the FOHP. Generosity was what they were all
about.

Terry was the engine behind it all. She was the
author of numerous plays, ran a playhouse in
Phoenix, traveled the world performing as Mrs.
Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday's Woman. She will
be greatly missed.

Happy 90th Birthday to original Our
Gang member and Santa Clarita

resident, Betsy Gay, shown here with
Friends of Hart Park board members E.J.
Stephens and Bill West. Look for an

interview with Betsy, coming up on
SCVTV and scvinthemovies.com.
