Note: Although the obituaries of Brian and his parents (both in 2004) fail to mention Cherry Hill, articles in the Cherry Hill News establish that our classmate, Brian Robert Dixon, got a scholarship at George Washington University, was the son of James and Mary Frances Dixon, and had sisters Jean and Madalyn.
