“Life keeps opening up… and as long as that’s true, then I’m going to keep on living it.”

Wise words from 92-year-old Betty Reid Soskin, who’s been enjoying her current position as a Park Ranger for the past seven years. The descendent of parents and grandparents who lived past 100, she knew she still had plenty left to accomplish in old age. This landed her in an official Ranger uniform, one that gives her great pride.

Betty has shined a light on the new wave of mature adults finding new life in the work force. She never thought she’d be a Park Ranger, but life happened to work out that way.
