Grace Jones of Salado

A Biography by
Mary Margaret Quadlander

Grace-Jones-of-Salado....say it like it was all one word. Her improbable rise to success is story enough; a country girl reared in the rural community of Smithville, Texas, leaves her home to join the legendary WASP to fly and deliver fighter planes during World War II; next, Grace takes an inconceivable step by becoming a famous runway fashion model in New York; then marries well known ace fighter pilot, Lt. Col. Curran "Jack" Jones; is the first American woman allowed to perform the highly regarded "Japanese Tea Ceremony" in public; and finally begins the second half of her well spent life by bringing the world of haute couture to the front doors of her famous namesake store, "Grace Jones of Salado". Her customers included Loretta Young, Liz Carpenter, Mrs. Lyndon Johnson, Gene Tierney, Jane Sibley, Mrs. Kissinger, Joan Brashear, Erma Bombeck, and Carolyn Farb. Many of these women had the pleasure to work with such top designers as Geoffrey Beene, Jean Louis, Count Sarmi, Pauline Trigere, Adolfo, Vollbracht, and St. Laurent. With barely a flick of her gold bangled-wrist, Grace seemed to fluidly move from one success story after another.
