After posting the info I knew, I decided too do a Google Search of the Ontario phone book.

I couldn't find ANY mention of a Dave Ribey in Atikokan, which is strange in itself, but did find a Dave Ribey living in Kitchener Ontario.

On the chance that he relocated, I called and " Dave" answered :o
It wasn't Quetico Dave, but in a weird coincidence, he turned out too be a distant cousin!

Unfortunately he had no contact info, other than knowing he had a cousin in Atikokan with the same name.

So I guess Q-Dave is missing in action :-/

I called his winter/summer numbers again, and got nothing but a busy signal. Anyone who gets into Atikokan in the near future should ask around. He's a hometown guy, everyone knows him and I'm sure they could tell you what's going on with him?
