Here's a photo of the Divine Dali accompanied by friends and acquaintances in the King Cole Lounge of the stately St. Regis Hotel in New York, circa 1974. The young man in the foreground is Charles Wright, from Boston, Mass. at the time -- an artist who, as I recall, had painted a pink rhinoceros on a T-shirt as a gift for Mr. Dali.
If memory serves, some of the others in this snap are mathematics/physics professors from an east coast university, probably consulting with Dali on some creative/scientific Dalinian project. (Photo used here for journalistic purposes only.)
