Ward: We also went to Florence, AL in ’77 or ’78 for a similar tournament where Ultimate was played at the endĭick: I remember that in fall of ’78 we had a team play in what I came to learn was the regionals and we lost to a Gainesville FL (I think) team in the finals In Spring 1978 a group traveled to Oxford, Mississippi for a tournament that was really a golf and freestyle tournament with Ultimate as a side event. We continued with Sunday pick-up games through the fall and into the Spring of ’78. I think about 5 of us came back, myself, my brother, my brother-in-law, Bob Bowman and maybe one more that I can’t remember. We were asked to join them the next week. After getting smoked probably 7-1 (I think my brother hucked one long to me for our only score) they split us up and we continued to play. Since a few of us footballers had been playing Frisbee golf for a few years, we liked the looks of the game and actually challenged them to a game one Sunday. I ran into them in the fall of 1977 while playing flag football. Ross Snyder and Kim Pisor were two of the main players that pulled in other friends. In 1977 there was a group, coed but mostly men with about 3 or 4 women, that started playing Ultimate at the Emory fields. Can you give a factual recollection of how the AFDC came about? KP & Ross (if that is still your email), weigh in as well, please. Out.ĭick: Ward, you are somewhat of a historian. A recent request by spurred an email conversation with Dick Eskew and Ward Silver about the formation of the AFDC.
