Andrew Simekis currently attending North Dakota State University, and is planning on graduating in the Spring of 2009 with a History/Social Science Education degree. After graduation Andrew plans on teaching high school history. During his free time Andrew enjoys biking, watching baseball, and just relaxing. Andrew is curently researching the Hazel Miner Memorial located in Center, North Dakota. In 1936 the town of Center, North Dakota and former governor L.B. Hanna revealed a new memorial to a young 15 year old girl. This girl was Hazel Miner, and she had sacrificed her life to save her two younger siblings sixteen years prior. In order to understand the significance of this memorial then and now I plan to conduct extensive research on the topic. Some of the sources that I will be researching will be secondary such as local histories and folk stories about her life. I will also conduct primary research by studying documents from the 1920s and 30s and reading the "Center Republican" from those same years. I really do not know what I will find in my research, but I can assume that the memorial was erected to honor her sacrifice. But at the same time I do not know what the memorial means to the people of the community today. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SAY HELLO!
