Walter *Fred* Frederick Morrison dies aged 90.




So why do you think I have posted this death of someone who many will not have heard of? well Walter or Fred as he liked to be called was the inventor of the Frisbee, now we all heard of that and loved playing with them in our younger days if not still. I cannot think of anyone that will not have heard of the Frisbee and reading about its history is good as I never knew it was originally named "The Pluto Platter".

A post on Wham-O's site the toy maker who bought the Frisbee rights reads today.....

"As Frisbee discs keep flying though the air, bringing smiles to faces, Fred's spirit lives on. Smooth flights, Fred,"
