A ceremony honoring the memory of California Highway Patrol officer Charles D. Goss, who was killed in the line of duty on Nov. 25, 1955, was held at the San Joaquin Winery.

Monday’s ceremony followed a highway memorial dedication on Highway 152, between Road 5 and Road 10.

Officer Goss was a California Highway Patrol officer, who was on patrol the day after Thanksgiving in 1955. It was a foggy day, and he had arrived at an accident to file a report.
