Arthur “Spud” Melin, the co-founder of Wham-O in 1948, died yesterday at the age of 77. Among other things, his company was responsible for the Frisbee (woo hoo!) and the Hula Hoop. I still have Frisbee dreams every now and then, and miss being in shape enough to play Ultimate. They turned the Ultimate field we used to play in into a playground, dammit… 🙁
