Also, don't be too sure that we use the same grip that FRH. I've had some long time alum inform me at Nationals that our current grip is NOT our original one. That it was originally based on the then current boy scout handshake. (but this is something I plan on researching more)

uh, yeah. i do realize that we arent actually singing the same version of the toast song being that another verse was added. been knowing that for quite some time, and as everyone who has read this thread would have noticed where young casanovaAPQ pointed it out in the first place. i dont know about your reference to the grip. i really would prefer that you research that. the reference wasnt meant to state the actual factuals, just to make the connection about why tradition is important by linking important people to important traditions, and show why so many people take stock in it, thats all.
