Long Tradition of Service
Photographs by Peter Carter
Members and guests of the Sovereign Order of St. John of Jerusalem, Knights Hospitaller, gathered Dec. 7 for a ball at San Francisco's Mark Hopkins Hotel. The international social and philanthropic organization was descended from the knightly order that provided shelter and care during the Crusades. Although membership requirements originally included being "landed," a commitment to and history of service are the primary qualifications today.
