In 1973, Missy Voigt and Marilyn Strack were hired as seasonal rangers at Muir Woods. Voigt stayed at Muir Woods for a short time before transferring to Alcatraz. Strack worked at Muir Woods for over two years, and she was one of the first disabled employees at the park. While at Muir Woods, Strack contributed to the park newsletter, interacted with the public, and staffed the information and kiosk booth. Speaking of her experience at the park, Strack said “I was once just like the average park visitor. I didn’t fully appreciate [the redwoods]. Now I feel they are my prize possessions and I want to share them with everybody.
