Ray, I like it.  Put a Montreal Canadians hockey sweater on the dolphin and we'll be set.  Everyone
will be able to identify with it.  [heh, heh].

Seriously, your idea is great.  As a matter of fact, we have a dive club in Nanaimo, where Steve's
from, that got written permission from a foreign navy, the US, I think, to use their dolphin ensignia
for their club. I have a sweat shirt with the design.  Unfortunately, the dolphins are quite ugly. A
cross between Jimmy Durante and Immelda Marcos.  Bummer.
