Lee, glad you got it sorted.
Just a note - don't ever use a drill on through-plated holes - you
will probably remove the 'plating' and disconnect the 2 sides - not so
much a problem if it's just a double-sided board, you can solder each
side (unless one side has a protective coat).
But on multi-layer boards, you're bound to break the connection.

Lots of good ideas here. I did use the solder wick. That was a no
brainer, but getting all the solder out of the holes is a different
deal. I rummaged around in my tool drawer and I found a "solder
sucker" which was spring loaded. I got it years ago from Radio
Shack. I never had any luck with it...but in this application seemed
to work well. I got the holes cleaned up....now...I can start
again. But alas...I think I need to get some more resistors too...I
broke one.
