Have someone turn the key and check the solenoid trigger wire (smaller gauge wire attached to the solenoid that comes down from the ignition switch) for voltage. If that is not energizing when the key is turned... the problem lies between the starter and the ignition switch, perhaps including the ignition switch. I would recommend having the starter bench tested anyway.

Quoted for truth. All the same jazz I was going to say - especially since it pop started fine, and just has a no-crank situation.
