365 Days of Dan: Day 19

A group shot. I have mentioned Glen Bjorkman several times concerning string-making because he was instrumental in helping me get the process going. He is the one that gave me the method used by the Armor for sheep gut. His company, Victor Surgical Gut, specialized in beef gut production, a slightly different process. In this group, Glen is on the far left. Next to him is Jody Anderson, who did a three-year apprenticeship with me and became quite a luthier in her own right. Next to Jody is Bobbye, my much better half, and on the right is a rare picture of Dan without a beard. We are standing in front of the house on 28th Ave. E. in Duluth where the business started.
