The Order of Salvador
The Order of Salvador is a chivalric order based on medieval traditions to recognize the supporters of the Dalí Museum in St.
Petersburg by employing the pomp and formalities that Salvador Dalí so enjoyed. At this year’s Ceremony of Investiture and
Elevation, Brad Morse, the order’s grand master, was assisted by Aaron Fodiman, editor/publisher of Tampa Bay Magazine, who
filled in for Tom James, the order’s grand chancellor. Paul Wilborn and his wife Eugenie Bondurant entertained guests prior to
the ceremony. The event at the museum was catered by Café Gala.
