My GRUB issue is now resolved.  Thanks to all who replied.  One response 
said to do "grub-update" and the other said the command was 
"update-grub" which I didn't catch at first.  I tried both and I forget 
which one actually worked, but again, all three of my OSs now show up.  
And again, thanks for all of the replies.  This list is GREAT!
