| A young Jared Kass |
As an an Amherst College student in the late 60's, Jared Kass would frequently play a team game with a Frisbee on campus. Kass was also a camp counselor at Mount Hermon Summer School (MHSS) in 1968 where they offered "Recreational Activities". Included were touch frisbee, tackle frisbee, water frisbee, one-handed frisbee, one-legged frisbee, three-legged frisbee, frisbee basketball, frisbee roulette, and strip frisbee - obviously many experimental games with the Frisbee. One notable MHSS camper was a
Columbia (NJ) High School student --
Joel Silver.
Per Kass "I remember one time running for a pass and leaping up in the air and feeling the Frisbee making it into my hand and feeling the perfect synchrony and the joy of the moment, and as I landed I uttered to myself,
'This is the ultimate game. This is the ultimate game.'"
