Bob, after making contact with Alan P in service group, I can say my problem is resolved by checking the enable captions option. I didn’t see the check box among the many options there. Im not sure why failing to enable captions causes the gallery to disappear though.
Alan offered good advice to me about plugin/theme CSS conflicts even offering to send me code to better refine the galleries that I want. So if i can get this level of support with problems and given the easy development of basic galleries i surely would increase the number of stars in my review.
