Thanks for the encouragement gents; I spent nearly 2 hours soldering practice wire and gradually walked the temp up from 550F to 585F to arrive at the best temp. At that temp, tinning the wire and the tip worked fine. Attaching the wire to the dry nubs on the board did not work; finally got the idea to tin the nubs too. Would not have gotten very far without the forum, Hakko, long needle point tip, heat sinks, Youtube, and the QuadHands gizmo.
