From: Ben Cascio

To: All Ugly Angels

Subject: Gerald Hail

This is a tough one. I am indeed sorry to advise that Gerald Hail died. According to the news reports he was missing for 3 days & found dead in a motel room near Inola. News coverage links below.

Nick Turner is communicating w/Lilly & his family & will keep us in the loop regarding further details, issues & arrangements. seastallion53d@gmail.com.

Although not having actually served w/the squadron, Gerald was made an Honorary Ugly Angel in appreciation for all that he did for the squadron, through the restoration of 3 UH34's in squadron colors, sponsoring our reunions at his airfield, flying cross country on numerous occasions to support UA related events, such as Nick Turners receiving his wings in Pensacola, dedication of the UA Memorial at Quantico, & developing & maintaining the Ugly Angel Museum in his hanger.
