Thanks Tony............the fuel pump relay is new, about one month old.  I
do realize new parts can be or go bad, but does seem strange that with both
the old relay and the new relay, the exact same condition can
happen............I'm certainly not putting the relay out of the picture.
Yep, the fuel pump is quite hard to hear... the pump I also replaced a month
ago.  The old original pump was silent (nice and quiet) and the new pump is
equally quiet

thanks for the suggestion
