Found the needed info on the wiki and added the priority setting.  I
added "priority=100" which should work right?  It will use the Gentoo
tree first and then mine?  That's my reading of the wiki page anyway. 

Thanks.

That's the default by design. If you copy an ebuild to your overlay, it's
usually because you want to make changes to it, so it should be given
priority. You can change the priority of overlays in
/etc/portage/repos.conf, or you can simply mask the overlay version.
