The first words that come to mind when thinking of Linda are “talented artist”, and that’s because in addition to her creative inspirations as a painter specializing in oil painting (see www.LindaRichter.com, she has an amazing ability to create and share artistic pleasure with those around her. From simple crafts and skills which she teaches the rest of the family, to a deft hand with a brush and canvas (or computer mouse when computer-based design is involved) for commercial and inspirational purposes, Linda does it all. Her latest non-painting creative efforts are the generation of intricately laid out photo albums to be published via an on-line publisher.

Linda is undoubtedly also the necessary glue that holds together the unique characters that make up The Traveling Richters. That “glue” requires a lot of patience, although that can occasionally wear thin where Jake and his idiosyncrasies are concerned, as well as extensive organizational and packing skills.
