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.

NJIT Appoints a New Mens Basketball Coach

I went over to the student center about 2:45 to get an ice tea. I saw a sign announcing a press conference for the Athletics Department. Since the announcement was for 2:00 PM, I just arrived for the tail end of the announcement. Jim Engles, the former Assistant Coach at Columbia, was announced as the new coach at NJIT. (http://njithighlanders.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/041008aac.html) I certainly wish Jim Engles the best of luck in his new endeavor. Let's hope for the best.
