Gentlemen:

For the record, I combined Carsten and Nick's suggestion, so here is
what I now have in my init file, and it works:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (eval-after-load 'org
    '(progn
      (add-to-list 'org-structure-template-alist
                   '("m" "#+begin_src emacs-lisp\n?\n#+end_src" ""))
      (add-to-list 'org-structure-template-alist
                   '("j"
                   "#+begin_quote\n||Dr|Cr|\n|-\n|?|$||\n|||$|\n#+end_quote"
                   ""))))
#+end_src

Carsten, I appreciate the explanation for why my quoting didn't work.  I
will now be adding many more of these Easy Templates to my init file,
they are a great shortcut.

Regards,
