Thanks for the help, all.
I figured it wasn't corrosion on the battery terminals, since I had cleaned those not too long ago.
Was kind of concerned about the battery, becasue my brother had put it on the battery charger on "fast charge" for 4 hours (Yikes!).
Took a look at it, and turned on the headlights and tried to start it. Headlights stayed bright, so I figured it wasn't the battery. That was a good tip.
Checked the voltage on the battery (12.5), and checked the voltage on the solenoid, to make sure it was switching over properly, and it was.
I had an old Dodge once that the starter would hang-up from time to time. Dad had taught me to put a piece of pipe onto the starter, and give it a couple taps with a hammer. The truck had been sitting all winter, so I figured maybe it had gotten some corrosion in the starter.
Gave the starter a few taps, and it fired up. She's back on the road, ready for the season!
