For some poor soul that is as new to LVM as I am.  Here is the commands 
I ended up using:

umount /data
e2fsck -f /dev/mapper/data-data1
resize2fs /dev/mapper/data-data1 400G
lvreduce -L 400G /dev/data/data1
pvmove -v /dev/sdb1


I did have to unmount it first.  It just wouldn't proceed without that 
one.  It then told me I had to run fsck on it too.  Other than that, it 
seems to have worked fine.

Now to figure out a few other things.  I may be back.  o_O
