Fellow Archies & Uglys
In order to better serve the HMM-362 family of Archie’s and Ugly Angels, and accomplish the four primary objectives described in the last issue of the Ugly Angel Newsletter, the Ugly Angel Memorial Foundation has slimmed down to fighting weight. The Board of Directors has been reduced from seven to three members, and a new slate of officers elected in accordance with the UAMFs articles of incorporation. The new officers are:
Tom “Big Ugly” Hewes, President; Ben “1i” Cascio, Vice President; and Bob “Savvy Gunny” Skinder, Secretary/Historian. They will be backed up by Rusty "Frugalman" Sachs, Treasurer; John " I know where you live" Burns, Personnel; and Mark "Ponzi" Stanton. Financial Advisor.
All come with an shit load of experience, a minimum of baggage, and a passionate desire to add new luster to the Archie/Ugly Angel name.
Those of you wondering what happened to the dues issue – and the checks sent to New Orleans about the time Katrina hit – standby. In the near future you’ll be receiving either an e-mail or letter outlining any policy changes, and perhaps even a refund.
Also expect the next Ugly Angel Newsletter to contain our preliminary plan for next August's Fort Worth Pop A Smoke Reunion. We’re working toward making it the best ever – OooRah!(or Ya Hoo! since it's Texas)

Angel website??
Hewes,
The link to HMM 362's website isn't working. Does it still exist and, if so, how do you get to it?
Thanks,
Deborah Davitt
From the mom of an Ugly
Dear Tom,
I have just regitered as a new user. I am the proud mom of a member of the HMH-362 presently deployed to Iraq. I also belong to a non-profit organization called Soldiers Angels. I encourage you to find out more about SA. It is through this organization that my sons flight doc has been able to get a lot of care packages and support to this Squadron and some of it's Marines have been "officially adopted for the length of their deployment. You will be interrested to know that the name alone, the Ugly Angels, has inspired a lot of Soldiers Angels to become Ugly Angel fans and we have truly enjoyed and been honored to support these great Marines. Several of the guys have been corresponding with Americans here at home and have shared information on the history and proud record of this most honored group of Marines. It is amazing now with internet, how much we can help each other in times like these. I came on here hoping to find a particular patch for my son and came across your posting. I just had to contact you and introduce myself and say thank you for your service to our country! KSween
