At the age of 80 Bill Underwood could scare the crap out of 20 year olds with his fighting skills. Ask Lou Ferrigno if you don't believe me. Bill Underwood was a WW1 veteran who went on to teach the WWII Allied Forces at Camp X and other places, then later, the FBI and various Police Forces. Many thanks to Robbie Cressman at Defendo and James Farthing for all of this info.
