John Forbes Fraser, Jr.
John (Jack) Fraser born in 1929 in Oak Park, Illinois graduated from Harvard in l951 then enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps. After discharge from a short stint in the military and a tour of Europe he returned to Illinois where he married Annette Jane Johnson. After spending his early years of employment in the advertising agency business (the 1950’s were the heyday of “Madmen” in the advertising agency business) he formed a construction company with his brother. Later, leaving the residential and commercial general contracting business he patented a toy which he sold to General Foods as a premium. He later took the toy to Europe where he established a manufacturing and retailing corporation (CLI Italiana Srl). After the European campaign he took the product back to the U.S. where he promoted it at the New York World’s Fair (1964-1965). It was there he introduced the Frisbee along with other products manufactured by Whamo Corporation. Returning to Illinois he became involved in various ventures and later returned to the real estate business where he became involved in land acquisition and development both in the U.S. and Belize. After losing most of his money he moved to Spirit Lake, a small town in North Idaho where he currently lives, reads, writes and occasionally attends Jo’s Hole Saloon, a place where he can drink beer and enjoy the camaraderie of friends.
