Bruce's Journal

Bruce Slutsky was born in New York City in 1949. I retired six years ago after working as a Science/Engineering Librarian at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark for 25 years. I was married to Karen until she passed away in February 2021. I have a son Lee who is now 35 years old. I am very much interested in the popular music of the 1960s, especially Bob Dylan and the Beatles. I am interested in rock and roll radio. I am an enthusiastic fan of the New York Mets.

Semi-Annual Trip to Rockaway

You can check out my blog entry for April 2, 2006 since we did essentially the same thing today. The only new thing was the Memorial to the victims of American Airlines Flight 587 which was placed at Beach 116th Street and the Boardwalk. This flight crashed in the Rockaways on November 12, 2001. Many relatives of the deceased wanted the memorial at the site of the crash, but it was built at Beach 116th Street which is a business rather than a residential area.
