Walter Frederick Morrison Walter Frederick Morrison Walter Frederick "Fred" Morrison (January 16, 1920 in Richfield, Utah – February 9, 2010 in Monroe, Utah) was an American inventor and entrepreneur, best known as the inventor of the Frisbee. Morrison claimed that the original idea for a flying disc toy came to him in 1937, while throwing a popcorn can lid with his girlfriend, Lu, whom he later married.

Morrison and Lu developed a little business selling "Flyin' Cake Pans" on the beaches of Santa
