Frisbee inventor Walter Frederick Morrison joins the spirit of the game RIP at the age of 90,


Walter Frederick Morrison conceived and developed his aerodynamic plastic disc in the 1950s Frisbee historian Phil Kennedy said Mr Morrison and his future wife, Lu, got the idea from playing with a metal cake pan on the beach in California.He originally called it the Pluto Platter and sold them at local fairs. The platter's novel aerodynamic shape allowed it to hover briefly or travel surprisingly long distances, kept aloft by its rotation.
