Betty Reid Soskin, an author, social justice activist and, at age 100, the oldest active ranger in the National Park Service (NPS), retired Thursday after a final year that celebrated her career at Richmond's Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front National Historic Park, CBS San Francisco reports.
Soskin spent her last day on the job providing an interpretive program to the public and visiting with coworkers at Rosie the Riveter park, named after the iconic campaign during World War II in which millions of women entered the workforce to support the Allied industrial labor effort.
"To be a part of helping to mark the place where that dramatic trajectory of my own life, combined with others of my generation, will influence the future by the footprints we've left behind has been incredible," said Soskin in a prepared statement from the NPS.
