Thanks for the responses guys. I'll do that Wade Walker
To elaborate then Justin mentioned the following:

I can see where this is going now that you pointed this out.  The code used to have a main function in place of where the constructor is now.  Where would be the best place or way to do this so that I can have a standalone class and initiate objects from this class, but not repeatedly call it over and over?  I am a little new to jogl and am learning a little at a time so some I would appreciate suggestions and help.  Would it make sense to put the canvas in the GUI class and call it from the GUI?  How would this work with the current threading framework?
