LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
ACR 70, Chesbro. CHP Officer Kenneth E. Marshall Memorial
Interchange.
This measure would designate the interchange at U.S. Route 101 and
State Route 200 in the County of Humboldt as the CHP Officer Kenneth
E. Marshall Memorial Interchange. The measure would request the
Department of Transportation to determine the cost for appropriate
signs showing this special designation and, upon receiving donations
from nonstate sources covering that cost, to erect those signs.
WHEREAS, California Highway Patrol Officer Kenneth Edmund Marshall
was born December 16, 1936, in Vernonia, Oregon; and
WHEREAS, Officer Marshall graduated from Napa High School, and
attended California State University, Sacramento, shortly thereafter;
and
WHEREAS, Officer Marshall was employed in a lumber mill near
Burney, California, prior to becoming a California Highway Patrol
Officer; and
WHEREAS, Officer Marshall married the love of his life, Shirley,
on September 9, 1956, and had two wonderful children, Dennis, born
August 11, 1957, and Pamela, born November 17, 1961; and
WHEREAS, Officer Marshall graduated from the California Highway
Patrol Academy in 1963 and, upon graduation, was assigned to the Los
Angeles Area and later transferred to the San Leandro Area and
finally to the Humboldt Area, where he spent the remainder of his
career; and
WHEREAS, Officer Marshall, badge number 3285, was killed in the
line of duty on January 9, 1968, while pursuing a speeding motorist
on Interstate 101 in the County of Humboldt; and
WHEREAS, As Officer Marshall was attempting to overtake the
violator, he lost control of his patrol car on the wet roadway as he
was traversing through a sweeping left curve and his vehicle slid off
the roadway and struck a pole adjacent to the highway; and
WHEREAS, Officer Marshall was a hard-working, dedicated officer
who loved his job and enjoyed the people he worked with, and who was
known for being a loyal family man and a wonderful father and
husband; and
WHEREAS, Officer Marshall's greatest joys were his wife and
children, and in his spare time, he would enjoy horseback riding,
hunting, fishing, camping, and spending time with his family on their
farm near Arcata, California; and
WHEREAS, In recognition of Officer Marshall's great contributions
and sacrifice in serving the California Highway Patrol and the
citizens of California, it would be fitting to designate the
interchange at U.S. Route 101 and State Route 200 in the County of
Humboldt in his honor; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, the Senate
thereof concurring, That the Legislature hereby designates the
interchange at U.S. Route 101 and State Route 200 in the County of
Humboldt as the CHP Officer Kenneth E. Marshall Memorial Interchange;
and be it further
Resolved, That the Department of Transportation is requested to
determine the costs of erecting the appropriate signs, consistent
with the signing requirements for the state highway system, showing
these special designations, and upon receiving donations from
nonstate sources covering that cost, to erect those signs; and be it
further
Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly transmit copies of
this resolution to the Director of Transportation and the author for
appropriate distribution.
