Welcome, Pat.
Are you getting punctures in the same place on the inner tube? If so, could be a piece of sharp material on inside the tyre, or a sharp edge on the inside of the rim that hasn't been covered sufficiently with rim tape.
Are you tyres pumped up high enough? For me, 120psi is the perfect compromise between comfort, speed and puncture protection.
It's difficult to recommend a specific tyre. I use Gatorskins and think they're great. Others think they're terrible. I've had only one or two flats in the last 4/5 months. I hate Vitorria rubinos (tread had lots of little tears and lots of punctures), yet I know some people on here like them.
