Thanks Nathan,
 
I took out naming the queue and tested it and it seemed to work.  Yes I am running two separate vis (hitting the arrow button).  I have no need to reference the queue by name in either vi.  I prefer wiring to ensure I don't have leaks or race conditions.  So I think I am on the same page as you.  As I mentioned earlier I do have release queues for the queues I obtain so I think I am good to go.  Thank you for your responses
