The final analysis: It was the "perfect storm" series of causes: Weak/dead/old battery, BAD charger that showed the battery had a full charge and a suspect cable from the solenoid to the starter.
Should have tested the battery, but charger showed it fully charged. Really suspected a dead ground in the wiring from the battery to the starter, as everyone suggested. When I could kick the starter by touching a jumoer ffm the pos of the bat directly to the starter motor, I started working backward from the starter. Also hooked up the old solenoid again.
Thank you all! cb
