He was always a communicator. After nearly twenty years in sales and marketing, Fred traded his suit and tie for tee-shirts and jeans to realize a long standing dream in broadcasting.
The book for when you need a friendly arm around your shoulder.
THINGS WE DO THAT SAY WE'RE HUMAN
The People Puzzle is comfortable, can’t put it down reading that will warm your heart and nourish your soul. It’s a lighthearted treasury of insights into human-kind from someone who has seen the good the bad and the absurd … and lived to tell about it. From blending families, raising kids and how the sexes behave, to growing older, accepting retirement, and stories of life in a gentler time. The people Puzzle is the kind of book you pick up when you need a friendly arm around your shoulder or begin to wonder who that person is peeking back at you from the mirror. It’s a reassuring wink and a nod that says you and I are okay … just human!
He worked both on and off the air for some of the top stations in New York and Philadelphia, earning several major awards for his copy writing and production, including the prestigious Edward R. Murrow Brotherhood Award, a gold medal at the International Radio Festival and a big Apple Radio Award. Today Fred is a grandfather, husband, and author sharing life with Vigi, his amazing bride, a feisty Goldendoodle who thinks he's a kid, and a chatty little parrot who says everything but what they've tried to teach her.

What Readers Say
"I cannot adequately put into words how much this book affected me. First, and foremost, it is a beautiful love story. Some parts I literally laughed out loud and some parts I cried. Fred's style of writing is like having him personally speaking with me"
"I loved the book. Funny, touching, and spot-on slices of life so wonderfully articulated."
"This book changed my life. It made me think about all the things I used to do but, one by one, have put aside. I've started painting and playing my guitar again. It inspired me to climb back out of my shell."
"I am thoroughly enjoying this delightful book. Each chapter brings me back to a kinder, gentler, happier time. Thank you Fred."
"The People Puzzle has many passages I like to have on hand to borrow and quote. Fred Masey has a wonderful way with words."
"I started reading it and couldn't stop. It's so easy to read and so inspiring."
"Relaxing, funny, wholesome, and endearing. Many chuckles. I see his face in my mirror."
"Just finished reading your book and I enjoyed it on many different levels. The nostalgia was fun, as were your observations on aging. I loved your idea for New Year's Eve and may try it this year."
What the Book Sez
"When it comes to femmes fatale, with soft curves and jiggly things, let's establish right up front that guys never stop looking. As long as they are still drawing breath, their last drop of testosterone is routed to their eye sockets even before their hearts and lungs."
"The mind is like a wife: It's the one in control whether the rest of your body knows it or not."
"Kids fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones, even lost teeth, and there were no lawsuits from those accidents. We received spankings with wooden spoons or just a bare hand, and no one called the authorities to report child abuse. We ate mud pies and worms, got .22s and BB guns, but nobody ever shot his eye out."
