Search Inventors The History of the Frisbee Related Innovations More Toys By Mary Bellis Every object has a history, and behind that history an inventor, the person who thought it up first. Sometimes who was first can be a topic for hot debate: often several people independent of each other will all think of the same good idea at around the same time and will later have to argue "No it was me, I thought of it first." Many people have claimed to have invented the Frisbee. The Frisbie Baking Company (1871-1958) of Bridgeport, Connecticut, made pies that were sold to many New England colleges. Hungry college students soon discovered that the empty pie tins could be tossed and caught, providing endless hours of game and sport. Many colleges have claimed to be the home of 'he who was first to fling.' Yale College has even argued that in 1820, a Yale undergraduate named Elihu Frisbie grabbed a passing collection tray from the chapel and flung it out into the campus, thereby becoming the true inventor of the Frisbie and winning glory for Yale. That tale is unlikely to be true since the words 'Frisbie's Pies' was embossed in all the original pie tins and from the word 'Frisbie' was coined the common name for the toy.

Steady Ed Headrick was born in South Pasadena on June 28, 1924. He had lived in Santa Cruz County for the past nine years. Headrick invented the Frisbee while working at San Gabriel-based Wham-O in 1964. In the 1970s, he created the sport of disc golf, which involves throwing a Frisbee at a metal cage. Headrick had donated disc golf equipment to a number of recreational programs for under-privileged youth nationwide. He is survived by his wife, Farina Headrick of La Selva Beach; one daughter, Valerie Headrick of Quincy; three sons, Ken Headrick of San Juan-San Ramon, Costa Rica, Daniel Headrick of Laguna Beach and Gary Headrick of San Clemente; and 11 grandchildren.

Frisbee, Disc Golf Inventor Steady Ed Headrick Dead At 78 By KAREN A. DAVIS into a limited number of memorial flying discs, which will of disc golf, which involves throwing a frisbee at a Headrick had donated disc golf equipment to a http://www.santacruzsentinel.com/archive/2002/August/13/local/stories/10local.ht
Extractions: Sentinel staff writer "Steady" Ed Headrick, who also invented the sport of disc golf, died in his sleep early Monday at his home in La Selva Beach. He was 78. The remaining discs will be sold and profits will help fund a future Frisbee/disc golf history and memorabilia museum. A memorial fund will be set up at a later date. In an interview with the Sentinel last October, Steady Ed Headrick, well-known for his sense of humor, said, "I felt the Frisbee had some kind of a spirit involved. It’s not just like playing catch with a ball. It’s the beautiful flight." "We used to say that Frisbee is really a religion — ‘Frisbyterians,’ we’d call ourselves," he said. "When we die, we don’t go to purgatory. We just land up on the roof and lay there."
