Okay, I like Laura's name for the club, but how about one more word, just to
spice it up a bit:
"North American Spitfire Squadron Triumphs!"
Now this is not only a name, but a slogan, and for those who wanted the
prurient touch, we've got a risque acronym: NASS T! (c'mon, sound it out!)
It has my vote - it appeals on so many levels . . .
