KGO-TV(SAN FRANCISCO) — America’s oldest national park ranger is back at work.
Betty Soskin, a 94-year-old park ranger in the San Francisco Bay area, returned to work Tuesday after she was attacked in June by a robber at her home.
Soskin took a few weeks off to recover from the attack that she said left her with internal bruises and two black eyes.
The park ranger said she still sleeps with the lights on since the incident, but she said being back at work at the Rosie the Riveter Visitor Center would help her healing process.
“Coming back to the people that I love dearly – my family, friends, coworkers – that those too will disappear eventually,” she said according to ABC News affiliate KGO-TV.
Among the possessions the robber stole; a commemorative coin that was given to Soskin by President Obama. She said the president was going to give her another one.
