When Hana Ripp's car wouldn't start on a recent sweltering summer evening, Tucson Police Officer Jeff Benedictine stepped in to help.
It all began when Ripp was on her way to Synagogue service Friday evening. She stopped at the Fry's Fuel Center on 1st Avenue and Roger Road to fill up on gas, but suddenly, her car wouldn't start."Our police force gets such horrible publicity; yet, I've had the best interactions with both the police and sheriff's department for over 35 years," Ripp recalled.
During their interaction, she learned the officer's grandparents were from Mexico and had taught him how to fix cars. He filled the car's radiator and explained what was going on.Ripp is a first-generation Holocaust survivor. She was born outside Dachau, Germany in 1946 to Polish parents. Her family eventually moved to Tucson in 1975, where her local involvement began with the Jewish community. Ripp's pursuits soon spread out across the Old Pueblo.
Back in 1993, former U.S. Sen. Dennis DeConcini honored her for helping develop Tucson as a model community for the arts. Ripp says her passions still lie in uniting people through the power of music and dancing.Caleb Fernández is a digital content producer for KGUN 9.
