For some reason when I draw, my drawing elbow points up maybe 20-30 degrees.  If I try to keep my elbow in line with the string my anchor comes off the corner of my mouth and comes to a stop below my chin.  What's up with me??  BTW - I have not shot a compound for a number of years now.

Well, put it backin the corner of your mouth.  I'm not being facetious.  I think you may be drawing primarily with your arm muscles and not your back muscles.  Regardless, when you drop the elbow for a more in-line draw, it's going to feel wierd for a while until you get used to it.  By using your back muscles to draw, rather than your arm, it should be easier to position/reposition your drawing hand/fingers in the correct anchor position.  Good luck.

It's like when you first started shooting a bow, practice, practice, practice.
