I have one reference to contribute - Bill's mom read that excerpt from The Little Prince at Brad's funeral.
"You-You alone will have stars as no one else has them... In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars will be laughing when you look at the sky at night..You, only you, will have stars that can laugh! And when your sorrow is comforted (time soothes all sorrows) you will be content that you have known me... You will always be my friend."
That was where the Laughing Stars thing, as a name, originated.
Totally forgot about that. So we didn't actually use that name when we joined forces for Antares? I know we had some kind of combo title. Variable Laughers? Corner Stars?
I don't remember having an "official" one but I remember throwing around those two as jokes at some point.. When we heard that quote at the service I think Karla said about 3 seconds later that that sounded like it would be our hybrid name.
