The end result of all this is that those stars that are farthest from us
as determined by their large redshift (galaxies rather than individual
stars, for the picky!!) have had their light traveling the farthest
amount of time to reach us, being redshifted along the way and revealing
us as they were, not as they are.

Note that in this explanation that we may be the center of observation
but located randomly within the universe, so that the same observation
would be made no matter where one was in the universe. There need be no
center of expansion, just an apparent expansion from the point of
observation.

OK, it is clear to me now.
I want to thank you and the other posters for the replies.
Much appreciated.
