Well, as usual, I jumped to ask the list before finishing my own 
research.  I finally found the SwapFAQ at 
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq?highlight=%28swapon%29 and 
followed the instructions under trouble shooting to delete the swap 
partition and recreate it.  It works!  Maybe someone could give us a 
hint as to why this would have failed and why this fix works when the 
system seemd to be setup properly already? Well, maybe this post will 
help someone else.

Regards to all,
Alex
