> Hi, Erik

I personally know 2 of the Riske families from Bashaw/Camrose
area very well...the John Riske family, and the Walter Riske family (both
were neighbours of my family in Rural Alberta).
If you are still stuck, I could get in touch with John's wife
(she lives with my uncle), and ask her where (if she knows) the family of
Leonard Riske might be. Since the message came up, I have been racking my
brain trying to figure out whether Leonard was a brother to John, or first
cousin.
Also, just to let you know, I also have a copy of Mecca Glen
Memories if you have more questions.
