Bill Sharpe of Lynwood, California. Bill was a founding member and the first President of the Tridents of Southern California car club.

Bill sold his 1955 Chevrolet custom before he went into the Air Force. In the Air Force he worked on B-52 Bombers, and just before he got out after 4 years, he got doused with Jet fuel and it got in his blood stream. Bill died because of that. 32 years old, and way too young.
