America’s Oldest Active Park Ranger Retires At The Age Of 100

[@starsaligninthesky]

What a national treasure she is.

[@vbs4257]

I used to work for the U.S. National Park Service, although not with this great lady. She's a true legend in the Service, known throughout the system. I wish her all the best in her retirement!!

[@warpathy6511]

Was she known for stopping a young person from starting they’re career for 35 years? Wow- what a selfish hctib!

[@u.synlig]

@@warpathy6511 A young person who is just _waiting_ for someone to hand over a “career” job to them, is not worth the time and money that was spent on their education. INNOVATE! (Besides, If you watched the video, this Park Ranger began _that_ career at the age of 80 years. So, she has served for 20 years in the role - which no young person could have fulfilled, as her personal history, knowledge and experiences were integral to her job.)

[@davistud]

this is the coolest thing i have seen all day! this woman is so awesome!!!

[@warpathy6511]

For occupying a career that a young person dreamed about starting 35 years ago but wasn’t able to?

[@butchcassidy9625]

My God just the fact that she can walk and talk and can stand at 100 is such a inspiration to me. I hope I can be just like her at 100. I hope God gives need all the time I need to save and help add much people as I can.

[@lauralafauve5520]

Me, too. 🙏

[@Dan-ud8hz]

What a lovely person!

Dealing with all the racism in the USA and still showing up to work everyday just amazing

[@yvonneplant9434]

Most black Americans have done that and still continue to.

[@ladycave5066]

She looks like she has another 20 years in her. No cap!

[@jamin4556]

Her story sounds like movie material. I would like to see it…

[@redrust3]

I am decades younger, and a whole lot less eloquent!

[@Ry-qk7vf]

I hate when people retire early. I’m kidding. Well deserved and she will be missed.

I'll be lucky if I survive 60. I'm an admitted schmuck. Laughter extends...

[@Toekneepowers]

Ukraine is a country in Europe. It’s a smaller country next to Russia.

[@Dan-ud8hz]

Congratulations on finding Ukraine on a map.

[@Toekneepowers]

@@Dan-ud8hz Russia is attacking a smaller country. So basically that’s wrong.

[@Trollzrfunni]

@@Dan-ud8hz Awe my fellow American patriot you’re hilarious Nice sarcasm my American Democratic Patriot 👍🏻

Let’s all take a moment to congratulate the MEN being given a WOMAN’S award.

[@zazatv6822]

Thanks for your service to our beautiful parks . Real patriots !!!

[@robotron17]

WAY more coherent than Biden.

[@Kingfisher1215]

Very nice. She’s only a couple of years older than our President and speaker of the house, maybe they will take the hint. She doesn’t appear to have dementia or have alcoholism either, like them.

[@Trollzrfunni]

Awe my fellow American patriot that’s some nice sarcasm my Democratic American patriot 🇺🇸

[@warpathy6511]

Oh, they’re ready to let a young person start a career finally? That wasn’t too selfish then 🙄

[@mrjerzheel]

She looks great for 100 and sounds a lot more lucid than cabbage brain Joe

[@jorgeferreira2446]

Hi everybody, Ron Desantis is show us how make an excellent administrator because what he´s making in Florida how governor. Is simple when you observe what Ron Desantis made and is making for your County. Thre´s a big difference between he and Joe Biden. The question is: Ron Disantis deserve to be US president? For me yes. 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
