I met Dan Roddick back in 1978 when I traveled from Seattle to California during my first of many road trips to play and compete in what was called at the time “Frisbee Golf” with a subculture of individuals: “The Frisbee Family”. A lot has changed in 30 years.

I feel this tribute to Stork, a friend and mentor needs to be shared outside the present disc golf community. If nothing else, a history lesson about a toy propelled into the main stream by a company called Wham-O, the vision of Ed Headrick and the life of a guy called Stork. A bit on Flying Disc History
