Hello all... thanks for the reply's and suggestions

It ended up that the fix was to reset the GFCI that was farthest away from the Lamp Post... would never thought that the receptalce fattest away would feed my Lamp Post... antsy all is now working ...

Several of the big box stores sell power testers 9these indicate power and co0rrect wiring) that have a button to test GFCI operation, I will guess if you get one these you will find that your garage outlets are protected. Also, if you add a GFCI in series with another GFCI BOTH may trip, so IMHO, test first otherwise you may need the electrician to find the 'other' GFCI.

Agreed. Of the 4 outlets in my garage, 2 are actual GFI outlets (with the reset button) and the other two have circuit breakers in the electrical panel...
