Flying Disc Inventor Passes Away at Age 90



Mr. Morrison never liked the Frisbee name. "He thought it didn't apply to anything," Kennedy recalled in an interview. "It was just a crazy name that didn't mean anything."

"I was standing there wondering why that Frisbee looked like it was getting bigger. Then it hit me."

What would he have called it if not Frisbee? Novelty Flying Disc?

I guess being named after a bakery wasn't his idea of a good name.
