Good news. It appears that the alternator was causing the problem and the motor turns easily once the belt was removed. The alternator was toast but appears engine is good.
This forum deserves a special thanks for the information to pull the belt off. They were quite suprised at the shop.

You didn't mention that if they could "turn it 1/2 way" they were probably turning it backwards to get the alternator sprag clutch to release and then turning it forward until it caught and stopped the engine again.

Drove it home. Runs great. I was thinking of another car but one short trip and I am hooked again. What an amazing combination of handling, power and comfort. Tough to beat for the price.
