Cubs media guide

This may be stretching the boundaries of this forum, but does anyone out there have a Cubs media guide from the 50s or 60s? My grandfather's cousin was a head groundskeeper for Wrigley Field and I am trying to get an idea of about when he done this.
His name would be Kenneth Olson.
I have contacted the Cubs but have got no reply.
I wonder otherwise if Newberry or the Chicago History Museum would have any.(I know it really isn't that Historical.) and I really don't care to buy one to just see if a name is in there.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Try emailing Steve Stone or Ken "the Hawk" Harrelson. Or get them on Twitter. They have been around a while here in Chicago, they should remember something.

In today's world they not allowed to give out personal information on anybody. No matter if it is a relative or not.

They talk about the head groundskeepers all the time on TV. If your are only looking to see when he worked there, that's not personal information.
