More Than Bears | Linda Wrigley ’89, M.D.

When Linda Wrigley ’89 pulled into the driveway of her home on the outskirts of Anchorage and saw a severed moose leg, she had one thought: Where’s the grizzly? But just as dangerous as wild animals in Alaska is the sun—and the lack of it. Summer’s rays hit people all day and into the night while they hike and garden. Winter’s darkness has them overdoing it on tanning beds and on vacations to sunnier locations. In 2003 a pregnant Wrigley returned from the Bahamas with a sun-caused skin condition called melasma. “I didn’t see anyone treating that in Alaska then, and I wanted to help my patients, too,” said the Anchorage-based obstetrician and gynecologist. Two years later she opened Alaska Body Aesthetics. Its laser technology, medical-grade skin- care products, permanent hair-removal treatment, and weight-loss consulting are now part of her dedication to women’s total health care. “Being a doctor was always something I wanted to do,” Wrigley said.

While the pirate invasion is billed as a family-friendly affair, Plummer had concerns about its effects on youth.

50 COLBY / SUMMER 2013 Pedaling Her Crops | Hannah Converse ’09

Hannah Converse calls her fledgling farming operation “Pedaling Vegetables,” and she’s hardly spinning her wheels. As she tends her newly planted melon seedlings and prepares the three-quarter acre of rented fields at Open View Farm for her first season as a Community Supported Agriculture venture, the 26-year-old Hampden, Mass., native is already hatching plans to put her love for cycling to work for her. Without a car, Converse climbs the hills of Conway, Mass., on her bicycle to get to the farm from where she’s living, about a mile and a half away. With help from a U.S. Department of Agriculture grant for start-up farmers, she recently bought a bike trailer, eight feet long and three feet wide, to transport vegetables and cut flowers to the farmers’ markets in Conway, three miles down the hill, and Shelburne Falls, nine miles away.
