Bernard Hellring

Bernard "Buzzy" Hellring was a creator of Ultimate Frisbee.[1] Along with Joel Silver, Hellring created ultimate in the parking lot of Columbia High School in Maplewood, New Jersey.[2] Hellring died in 1971, in an auto accident at Princeton University.[3] He was elected posthumously into the Ultimate Hall of Fame.[4]

After his death, funds were raised to fulfill his dream of producing the high school newspaper he edited as an in-house daily, through purchase of a large Heidelberg printing press. This press was sold sometime in the late 1990s as traditional printing arts were replaced by computer-based technologies in the school's curricula.
