Tribute to Ken Field - 100 years strong

Posted by Max Calkins

A TRIBUTE TO KEN FIELD: Kenneth S. Field was born on March 31, 1918, in Duluth, MN. He earned his bachelor’s degree in Management at the University of Minnesota, and an MBA at Syracuse University. He went on to a brilliant career in Forensics.

Before coming to Colorado Springs, Ken was the director of the Federal Forensic Sciences Laboratory in Washington DC. He moved the laboratory to Colorado Springs and ran it here until he retired in 1985.

Ken was a member of the Academy of Forensic Sciences for 27 years, twice serving as the executive director. He was a member of the editorial board of the academy’s journal and chairman of the group’s history committee, for whom he wrote the history of the academy.

The American Academy of Forensic Sciences is a multi-disciplinary professional organization that provides leadership to advance science and its application to the legal system. The Academy gives recognition to outstanding members in the field of forensics, with the “Kenneth S. Field Award of Appreciation for Outstanding Service.”
