| The
Friends of the Grenville (FOG) is a loose-knit fraternity that formally
came into existence in 1972 but whose roots really go back to a
monumental, 3000-km-long, 12-day field trip led by Hugh R.
Wynne-Edwards. Since 1970, there has been an unbroken chain of annual,
September-October, two-day excursions that alternate between Ontario,
Quebec, and New York. FOG is a "nonorganization" with no dues and
no formal membership. A Friday-night gathering welcomes participants
with an overview of the fieldtrip and a Saturday-night banquet salutes
fieldtrip leaders and the participant having travelled the farthest to
join the "Friends". It is the mixture of friendships developed over
the years , the rocks and their beautiful enigmas, and the frank and
broad discussions on their potential solutions that keep drawing FOG
members back, year after year, rain or shine. |
