Gentlemen, we have liftoff!
Thank you both for your patience, knowledge, and research.
When I changed the last line in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf to enable it to deal with the interfaces, the bridge and the slaveĀ interfaces automatically came up before I could even reboot. That is, I changed the last line here from "managed=false" to "managed=true".
____
[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile,ofono
dns=dnsmasq
no-auto-default=C8:9C
C:A9:C1:70,26:AB:81:7B:89:AE,
[ifupdown]
managed=false

firenice03, it was trying out your command that made me think to look into it with nmcli d show a little closer, it revealed that the bridge was not being managed.
Wirezfree, I really respect your ability to think out of the box. Who would have thought about using virtual machines in such an arrangement, very clever. But obviously, I won't have to go down that path.
They say that the linux community is full of people willing to help, you two have shown this to be true. Thanks again and goodnight.
