I finally figured this out. I used the tasks sample project as a model. My approach might not be perfect, but it is working. I created a function on Locations db to get a list of address_id for the current user. I call this function from the view for the page with the form, and then created a custom django form... pulling in the select options from the address_id list. I tried this general approach previously but could not get it to work. This might have been due to the fact that I was not including a (hidden) field in my custom form.
