Alzheimer’s won’t stop ex-Vikings QB Joe Kapp from joining Super Bowl IV teammates

Joe Kapp’s son has been reminding the former quarterback for several months about the upcoming 50-year reunion for the Vikings’ first Super Bowl team, but it hasn’t sunk in. There is a reason for that.

​Kapp, 81, has Alzheimer’s Disease and has difficulty remembering things. The hope is some memories will be stirred when Kapp runs into former teammates at the Super Bowl IV reunion.
