At 71, Jeanne Meyer still works as a hairstylist. The Twin Falls woman celebrated her 70 birthday by going skydiving. She writes cowboy poetry and has more energy than many 20-somethings. On March 11, she and two other women — Linda Johnson, 64, of Wendell and Karen Taylor, 76, of Burley — competed in the Ms. Idaho Senior America competition at Twin Falls’ senior center. They wore evening gowns, showed off talents and blushed at compliments about their looks as they competed to advance to state competition in Coeur d’Alene. In the audience were more smartly dressed women, most of whom were 50 and older. The message of the event: It doesn’t matter how old you are. It matters how old you feel/Melissa Davlin, Twin Falls Times-News. More here. (AP file photo)
