During WWII, Fred served first with the Office of Naval Intelligence and ultimately found himself in far off places on the staff of Admiral Guenther, who was under the command of Admiral Nimitz. Fred received his honorable discharge in 1946. He would soon return to the Pacific and Asia to become an influential force for the good will and economic promise of international tourism. Fred began his publishing career working with Sunset Magazine in 1949, becoming the Travel Editor in 1951.
