Connie Walker

Connie and her husband, Dick Walker, moved to Anchorage in 1966 where two sons, Brian and Michael, were born.  Before they left Alaska in 1982, the family enjoyed camping, fishing and cross-country skiing.

A writing class from ACC inspired Connie to write poetry, short stories and a novel.  She earned a Certificate as an Herbalist from the Dominion Herbal College of B.C., Canada.  In Anchorage, she worked at the Rainbow Health Center and Anna’s Health Foods.

The Walkers operated their own herbal store and school for 25 years in Salem, OR where Connie wrote and taught an herbal course for the National Health Care Institute.
