There are people out there whose names you may not recognize but their influence, talent, and foresight set them on an extraordinary career arc, yet their accomplishments and sometimes their very names become lost to the tides of history. Alexander Sarantos Tremulis is one such individual.
Born in Chicago in 1914, Alex was fascinated with cars and speed from a young age. His father was a doctor who used the excuse of getting to patients in a hurry to purchase fast and exotic cars which may have planted the seed in young Alex’s mind. He was often found drawing cars at the expense of his school work.
