Grace Morrison
Grace Morrison was a secretary and aviator. She was the namesake for Morrison Field, which had previously been called Lightbown Municipal Airport and later expanded into Palm Beach International Airport. Morrison had led the movement to construct the air field and it was named for her before the Air Corps took control of the facility.
Morrison learned to fly in 1932 and was the first female pilot to solo in Palm Beach County, Florida. She was president of the Palm Beach County Airport Association, leading the drive to expand and improve the small airfield.
Morrison died in a car crash months before the field's dedication.
