	Roland Fogg Micromount Collection By Ray Grant The Foundation has purchased the Roland Fogg (1915 - 2006) micromount collection and donated it to the Museum. Roland Arthur Fogg's interest in collecting minerals started when he was a teenager. He accompanied his uncle on rock hunting trips, and collected minerals for the rest of his life. After serving in World War II, he graduated from the University of Maine where he studied history. While in Maine he continued collecting and started polishing some of the material that he collected. He then received a Masters Degree in psychology from the University of Michigan. He worked in human resources for most of his career and spent his vacations on rock hunting trips with his wife Ann. In 1977 they moved to Sun City and he continued to pursue his interest in minerals and lapidary. He connected with Bill Hunt and the other dedicated micromounters in Sun City. Roland was a member of the Mineralogical Society of Arizona that had a micromount group and the Sun City Micromounters. They met every

	month for many, many years. He also continued his lapidary work and made beautiful cabochons. The micromount collection has about four thousand mounted specimens of about 500 mineral species. He also had a small collection of larger specimens. The micromounts will be added to the Museum's collection and be available for people wanting to study minerals. The excess micromount material that fills many egg cartons will be given away at the Flagg Show in January. Many thanks to Ann Fogg for her help in preserving this collection at the Museum.
