Problem Solved!
I checked fuses not blown and brake lights working, all good.
Driving home, I tried again to engage Cruise Control - no go.
As mentioned in the thread, try lifting up on the brake pedal while engaging Cruise - it worked. Cruise kicked back out when upward holding motion was released from the brake pedal.
I pulled over to the side and found a plastic switch that makes contact with the brake pedal when pedal pressure is released. This switch has a plunger that is pushed through a receptacle far enough to make contact with the brake pedal. This switch is not secured by a nut (that I can see) and over time retracted a bit so as not to make contact with the brake pedal. I may have to check this out further. Seems only friction holds it "in" far enough to make contact with the brake pedal. As soon as I pushed it through the receptacle far enough, it made contact with the pedal and Cruise worked fine.
Thank to all that that responded.
