Jeanne Branson: Parker pioneer airing August 19, 2002 What does the woman who was once billed as the world's youngest wild animal trainer do when she's older and wants to take life easier? If you're Jeanne Branson, in 1946 you buy land on what's now called the Parker Strip along the Colorado River. Back in 1946 there was nothing… no water, no electricity. Which suited Jeanne just fine. But, she says, she opened her mouth about it… and friends and strangers came out West to see this primitive land… and today it is indeed a destination point. At 82, Jeanne is still going strong, still running her motel/RV park, and still as active in community affairs as ever.
