A 100-year-old ranger retired from the National Park Service on Thursday after 15 years with the agency.
Betty Reid Soskin worked at the Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front National Historical Park in Richmond, California. She was its oldest ranger.
“Betty has made a profound impact on the National Park Service and the way we carry out our mission,” park service Director Chuck Sams said. “I am grateful for her lifelong dedication to sharing her story and wish her all the best in retirement.

“Her efforts remind us that we must seek out and give space for all perspectives,” he continued, “so that we can tell a more full and inclusive history of our nation. Congratulations, Betty!”
“[This job] has proven to bring meaning to my final years,” Soskin said. She has held a permanent position with the service since 2011.
