The Sovereign Steward

"Lineage is not a hobby; it is a biological contract." For Dr. Capps, the Sanctuary represents the culmination of a journey that began over sixty years ago. Known for his "Husky Grit" and a forensic approach to ancestry, he personally vets the biological truth of every anchor recorded here.

The Pillars of the Sanctuary

Honoring the instructors who taught me to find the truth.

Joseph W. "Joe" King

Outstanding Faculty, FCC

One of only five outstanding faculty members in FCC's first half-century, Joe King taught me that communication is a matter of integrity. A pillar of St. James Cathedral, he anchored the ground where my history converged.

Coach Darryl Rogers

The First Health Ed Class of '65

Before the legendary coaching career, a first-year instructor at FCC challenged a teenager to look backward. Coach Rogers provided the spark that led to the four yellow poster boards and a lifetime of biological search.

The Summer of 65 Map

The Eli Lilly Fellowship

In pursuit of the "Meeting of Minds," Dr. Capps was awarded a prestigious Eli Lilly Teaching Fellowship. This work focused on developing a rhetorical curriculum that allowed historical figures to "speak" across time—a methodology that now serves as the engine for the Ancestor Media System.

"We don't just record history; we invite it to the table."
