Swapped out my starter and solenoid, plugged in my spare ICM (until the new replacement arrived at NAPA), and Pepe started right up!!  The starter was definitely dead, I hooked the jumper cables to it from the battery and nothing happened.  I couldn't see anything mechanically wrong with it. 

I took the old starter and ICM back to NAPA with my receipts, along with a master cylinder I had bought that turned out to be the wrong one.  So for a new starter, new ICM, and a new solenoid, they ended up paying me $25.  I like those economics!!!

Glad that's all straightened out! And it's always great to spend ZERO dollars! :)
