Thank you.  The time is correct now.

What I found interesting is that by default the system defines
$NTPSERVER or /etc/sysconfig/ntpserver with a string of 6-7 NTP server
addresses (sorry I don't have the string right now).   ntpd doesn't like
this and displays a syntax error message to the pi console screen and
tries over and over again.

Here's the section of code that runs at bootup:
/usr/bin/getTime.sh
#!/bin/busybox ash
# bmarkus - 26/02/2014

NTPSERVER=$(cat /etc/sysconfig/ntpserver)
/usr/sbin/ntpd -q -p $NTPSERVER

As you can see here ntpd does not like multiple NTP server entries in
the command:
tc@piCoreLMS:~$ ntpd -q -p 1.2.3.4 9.10.11.12
BusyBox v1.34.1 (2021-11-20 17:07:05 EST) multi-call binary.

Usage: ntpd [-dnqNw] [-S PROG] [-p PEER]...

NTP client/server

-d[d]   Verbose
-n      Do not daemonize
-q      Quit after clock is set
-N      Run at high priority
-w      Do not set time (only query peers), implies -n
-S PROG Run PROG after stepping time, stratum change, and every
11 min
-p PEER Obtain time from PEER (may be repeated)
If -p is not given, 'server HOST' lines
from /etc/ntp.conf are used


After I configured the the ntp server in bootcode I get the following

tc@piCoreLMS:~$ cat /etc/sysconfig/ntpserver
pool.ntp.org
