Sunday Lunch Speaker
John Capps
John T. Capps, III, is from
a large farm family as most of them tip the scales about 300 pounds soaking
wet. On Sundays for the traditional after church dinner he never knew a
chicken had anything but wings. Being from Morehead, NC, which is surrounded
by water and located far from a paved road, when he was young and wanted to
go hunting he walked toward town!
John assumed responsibility
early by taking out the trash, sweeping the floor, sticking cotton in the
screens, filling the lamp oil, bringing in wood for the fireplace and Pushing
the grass cutter.
John T.’s high school’s
graduating class had nine students and he was in the top five. His senior class
voted him “Most likely to Recede”. John T. graduated proudly without honors.
After college John T. went into
the Army at the invitation of the President of the United States. Almost like
growing up on the farm, some big fellow at Ft. Jackson U.S. Army Base kept
telling him to do this and that. Instead of sweeping the floors, he was learning
how to mop floors with a toothbrush!
After Army days, one of John
T’s first job was to take a bag of M & M’s and put them in alphabetical order.
Around the office everyone knew when John T. had been working on the computer,
he left white-out all over the screen.
John T’s Grandfather, Uncle,
Daddy and Brothers joined the Rotary Club so he did the same; the club was
always having a membership drive. There seemed to be a lot of apathy among the
members, but who cares anyway?
John T. is a sought after,
non-professional speaker that has traveled around the world five times,
addressed over 700 groups with humor, inspiration and motivation, sometimes two
and three times.
We promise to share his Rotary
assignments with you during his official introduction.
His Rotary service includes The
Rotary Club of Morehead City Noon, District 7730, Zones 33-34, and Rotary
International. |
