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.

Passing of a Colleague
Today I found out that my colleague Veronica Calderhead passed away after fighting soft cell sarcoma for several months. Since I don't discuss work related issues that much on my blog let me explain that I am chemistry/chemical engineering librarian (among other subjects) at NJIT in Newark. Veronica was the physical sciences librarian at the Dana Library of the Rutgers-Newark campus which is about a city block away. I joined NJIT in 1992 while Veronica joined Rutgers in 1994, so I knew her for about 13 years. We worked together for years while our respective bosses feuded. She regularly came to the METRO Science Librarians group (http://www.metro.org/collaborate/index.php/Science%2C_Technology%2C_Medical_Librarians ) which I organized in 2000. My condolences to her family. She will be sorely missed.
Bruce, this is tragic news. I remember Veronica, she was a great person. Wow, I can't believe it.
