Subject: Alleged False Information, re - Sam Dehne 10 March, 1997
To: Reno/Sparks Chamber of Commerce
405 Marsh Ave
Reno, Nevada 89509
Attn: Executive Director, Harry York

Dear Mr.York,
I am writing concerning the matter of questionable statements you have been alleged to have made... about my involvement in Reno citizens' attempts to thwart the landgrab of their homes and properties by the Reno Airport and the Nevada Air Guard.
I have been informed that you have said words to the effect that certain citizens should not associate with me because I am not who you say I claim to be. In other words, if what I have been told is true, you are saying that I am an impostor.
I have been informed that you have accused me of lying about my background... specifically stating that I was never a pilot and that my claim to such experience on my resumé is "just a piece of paper". I can assure you that the record proves that I was both an Air Force military pilot and a commercial pilot for over 20 years; with a perfect flying safety record in fighters, bombers, and airliners.
I am enclosing an editorial from the Las Vegas Sun (click here), an excerpt from the United States Claims Court Reporter, and a brief resumé (click here) to maybe jog your mind into accepting these facts.
If you still question my background, I suggest that you contact former governor Mike O'Callaghan at The Las Vegas Sun newspaper.
I have my suspicions as to where you received your false information, and I suggest that you should have contacted me before spreading untrue rumors.
If you have made such false statements elsewhere (as the Director of such a pristine organization as the Chamber of Commerce), I hereby demand that you publicly retract them.
You have my approval to provide this letter and the attached documents to the rest of your associates and staff who might also have been falsely informed about my background... and to anybody else you deem appropriate in your obligation to reveal the truth of this matter.
Notwithstanding the above, the terrible issue here is the dastardly confiscation of citizens' homes... not my background. If you have any questions that you think might help you get back to the truth, you should contact me as indicated below... or my attorney, Terri Keyser-Cooper.
Sincerely,

Sam D. Dehne
