Sherill, Fort Dix is the Army Base, right next to McGuire AFB. Which probably means they were married at the chapel on the base. Was your grandfather in the Army? E-mail me personnaly with more details, I'll see what I can find out for you. My husband is in the Navy & we're stationed about an hour from Fort Dix.
