Miller, Linda Karen

Description

In Nevada, the legacy of Helen Stewart lives on through her impersonator, Dr. Linda Karen Miller. Dr. Linda Miller was born in Kansas and started teaching in the K-12 system in the states of Kansas and Virginia in the 1970s. Miller focused on teaching social studies and often wore costumes to emphasize her lessons. Miller discovered the letters of Helen Stewart in 2003 and began performing as Helen Stewart. In 2010, Dr. Miller was in charge of fundraising the remaining money necessary for building a statue of Helen Stewart at the Old Mormon Fort in Nevada. By 2012, she had completed the project and the statue of Stewart was erected.
