"send to" name in Outlook 2003 in message center

When we start to type a name to "send to", usually a short list comes up with names of prior persons.  ie: tracy gives us tracy smith and tracy deco.  Tracy deco was deleted a long time ago, and is not in our address book or anywhere else (that we can tell).  How do we get rid of the tracy dco coming up?  We have this probelm with quite a few names, especially in our sales department where contact are always changing.
