American Fun – The Frisbee

Fred Morrison, former World War II veteran and inventor of the iconic Frisbee, passed away on Tuesday. Morrison got his start playing with cake pans on the beach, and eventually sold his toy idea to Wham-O, where it almost instantly became a terrific hit. Hundreds of millions of Frisbees have been sold since, and the toy has spawned whole sports and tricks of its own. Can you do a body roll? Fred Morrison gave something fun to kids of all ages, and for that he will be forever remembered.
