Thank you Harlan for your comments.
You didn't entirely address my 'Is it possible' question? Which are
you saying:
A) No it is not possible. Use a table.
B) Yes it is possible, but 'incorrect'. Use a table.
If the answer is B.. is there anyone out there that is willing to tell
me how to do it without a table?

I assume you are pointing out that I forgot to properly close the div
tag above </div> as well as include <ul></ul>. Both are a typo in the
posting (not my actual code :)). I appreciate the clarification. One
other aside, I removed other non-list elements from the div for my
post since they didn't relate to the question at hand. Those other
non-posted elements justify wrapping the list in a div as all of the
elements (including the list) are presentation related.
Separate text alignment within list item (<li>)
