INVITATION ONLY - Houston sportsmen knighted
Houston Chronicle (TX) - October 9, 2011

Reed Morian, Downey Bridgewater, John Kotts, Ed Jones and James Nicholson have been knighted in the Order of St. Hubertus, the highest honor for international hunting enthusiasts. Founded in the late 17th century, the order has 250 U.S. members and 600 worldwide. The Southwest Priory, which includes Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and New Mexico, is the largest member chapter according to its leader, Houstonian John Poindexter.

The new knights joined Keith Moseing, Boysie Bollinger, John Kelsey, Scotty Arnoldy, Vidal Martinez, John Barksdale and Phil John for a ceremony-filled weekend in Washington, D.C. that included a cocktail reception at the Belgian Ambassador’s residence, black-tie dinners at Plume and the Metropolitan Club and a white-tie ball at the Mayflower Hotel.

Andreas Salvator Von Habsburg Lothringen, Archduke of Austria, knighted the squires on behalf of King Juan Carlos I of Spain at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church. Dressed in white tails, the gentleman were dubbed with a sword before donning forest-green capes with embroidered Maltese crosses.
