After putting in a new hard drive and downloading & installing, Firefox and Thunderbird I have no clue where my address book is on the old HD which I still have access to via a different computer. Is there any way to capture, export or retrieve our old address book??

All your mails, settings, add-on, accounts and pwd etc is stored in a hidden subdirectory In win 7 its in: "Drive":\Users\"Win-username"\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\"profile-name" , where profile-name is a random name, often with extension .default.

Installing an add-on ImportExportTools would give you an opportunity to import most everything. If you cant access your old profile straight on, copy the entire old profile to a stick or memory card.
