Ralph Grose

A Club Member from 1975

Ralph Grose started photography as a child and has continued with that hobby. Ralph was introduced to Northern Georgian Bay as a child and has continued that happy relationship. He and his wife owned a cottage on southern Georgian Bay for 50 years. The area provided a lot of photo opportunities during that time.
