Maitland B.S. Steinkopf (1912–1970) Son  
 
Well that's interesting!
Steinkopf was the first Jewish lawyer on the Prairies. He was an unsuccessful Pro­gres­sive Party candidate in Winnipeg in the 1927 general election. However, his son Maitland would serve as the Progressive Conservative member for River Heights from 1962 to 1966, but he didn't live to see his son's accomplishment.
