There was an October 24, 2009 article in the Port Clinton News Herald entitled "Local Pilot Had Severe Vision Problems," by Vince Guierrieri and Kristina Smith Horn about Gene Damschroder's (alleged) death.
The part about Gene Damschroder's death being reported in the Sandusky Register is true. According to a private message from Dr. Bear, the part about Gene Damschroder walking into the offices of the Sandusky Register and announcing that he's still alive was a joke.
