Dear Editor,
In a Traer Star-Clipper article and accompanying photos featuring the news of relatives of Tama Jim Wilson visiting Traer and the Traer Historical Museum, two children were erroneously identified as stepchildren of Max Bogenrief. Mr. Bogenrief is Tama Jim's great, great-grandson. The children shown in the photos are Abiah and Kole, Mr. Bogenrief's daughter and son.
The Traer Historical Museum regrets providing the erroneous information to the Traer Star-Clipper and apologizes to Mr. Bogenrief and his family.
We also want to extend our congratulations to Max and his wife Danielle on the birth of their son, the newest great, great, great-grandson of Tama Jim. Drew joined the Bogenrief family on November 8th.
Jeannine Smentek, Secretary
Traer Historical Museum
