I have also attached scans of two of his official Olympic credentials listing him as a photographer for the U.S. Army. I also have his travel orders and equipment list. I collect mostly Olympic photographs (5000+ images). I also try to pick up items related to the photographers including credentials, passes, tickets and the such. I have also acquired an interesting group of photo vests and bibs.

Kenneth had Harold Ramis hair and look ala Ghostbusters in the snapshot.
Great photo, BTW...
