Chloe just wanted to say “Hi.”

Posted by Ree on July 1st, 2008
We have big news here at the Linker household. We have officially decided to chase our long-time dream of doing full time guitar building and repair right here in Jerusalem. We’ve long wanted to be ‘tent-makers’ here, and Franklin has had more and more opportunities to be involved with local guitar players and musicians.
So at the end of the year we will officially step down from our positions at the ICEJ and take a six month sabbatical in Michigan where Franklin will study to receive his Master Luthier certification from one of the most respected guitar builders in America. Please, please someone take the time to dig up a positive comment or two about the state of Michigan - we’re hearing horror stories! Anyway, we feel very strongly that this is the next step for us. Now is certainly the time in our lives to step out of the boat and have a go at making a career out of something we love. If we don’t do it now we never will.
This is all a bit scary for us and we’re very sad to leave our friends and family at the Embassy - but we’re also excited to see what the future holds.
