Pictured above is Frank Charles Kirkman (b. 16 MAR 1899 - d. 31 JUL 1980) in his Traffic Officer uniform in a photo taken prior the the formation of the California Highway Patrol in 1929. He was employed by the State County Traffic Efforcement unit in Tulare County, California. Grandpa said he had to use a stop watch to "clock" the speeders because the Indian motorcycle he was using didn't have a speedometer. .
