Here are the tables. You will notice a BLOB for signature image storage. I have since re-thought this and will be moving the image out to the file system. The table only has 30,000 records and is already 155MB+. When it hits a million records, the size will not be worth the trouble.

This morning, the query took 0.0054 seconds and returned 35 records. This database is still young but will eventually grow to the millions of records. This is the reason why I wanted to make sure the query was ready for the big time. Here is the explain from the query this morning as well as the buffer information.
