I almost got it. Instead of using the Region, Buddy, I set Shift With Parent=TRUE for all the controls positioned below the Variable Memo control.
That ALMOST worked like a champ. Well, it did for everything except a Shape control that refuses to Stretch, but will Shift. So, I have a workaround. Place 2 of these rectangle Shapes, same size, same location, then Shift one of 'em. However, I am left with the question about parentage. What determines Parent or Child?

In the region with the column names make sure you click on ShiftRelativeTo and then select the region that that has the variable memo. Also click stretch on both regions.

I have some data from an Oracle db with a LONG VARCHAR field. I've placed a Variable Memo control on the report in the break header where I want it located, STRETCH=TRUE. However, when the data exceeds the size of the field/control on the report, it stretches, but right into the column-header labels below it. What I really want is that any controls positioned lower than this field shift with the field. Any tips? Thanks, Steve in Memphis J.
