it looks like most of what i'm seeing is vg* and pv* commands ... have 
you tried any of the lv* commands?  for instance, lvdiskscan, lvscan, 
lvdisplay, or lvchange?  for details on them, read the man pages, since 
i just quickly ran through a few that looked like they might be related 
to figuring more info out

Thanks for the response.  I guess I should have mentioned the results from lv* commands I tried (lvdiskscan appears not to be a Fedora command).  I'm afraid to do anything with lvcreate because I don't want to step on what's there--unless I am misunderstanding how things work.  It looks to me like the volume group is there, but the system can't find or doesn't know the label.  I wonder how to tell it that the label was LogVol00.

Here are some results:
