James C. Cappers: Joys of the
Outdoors
In
her junior year at Quinnipiac College, Kathleen Vieira
spotted a new man on campus. He was tall. He was
handsome. He was wearing a pink rugby shirt.
"Who is that guy?" she asked her friends. Nobody
knew.
Turns out he was a transfer student named James
Christopher Cappers, a.k.a. Chris, a.k.a. Clark
Kent (whom he resembled).
"Fresh from getting out of the phone booth," said
Steven M. Vaughn, a friend since sixth grade.
Ms. Vieira and Mr. Cappers married in 1995, on April
22, a date they selected by combining their birthdays,
Sept. 4 (April is the fourth month) and Aug. 22.
It was also Earth Day, a good fit, considering that
some of the Cappers' favorite times together were spent
hiking, camping and introducing Alex, who will turn 3 on
Dec. 30, to the thrills of sleeping in a tent. Mr.
Cappers, 33, was a personal client executive at Marsh
& McLennan.
Mrs. Cappers recently gave Alex and Andrew, seven
months old, special teddy bears sewn from their Daddy's
old shirts. "I'm trying to find that pink rugby for
myself," she said. "I think about him all the time."
