- I was actually born in Brooklyn in what is known today as Brookdale Hospital. My parents and I lived with my grandmother in the Williamsburg section until I was 2 years old when we moved to Queens.
- I always hated driving on the Brooklyn Queens Expressway since the traffic was always terrible.
- I went to library school at Pratt Institute from 1979-82. Most of my classes were on the weekends
- From 1968 - 1972 I dated several girls who lived in Brooklyn
- My Aunt Rebecca and Uncle George lived in the Crown Heights section for many years
- Karen's Uncle Irving and Aunt Rose lived in the Georgetown section across from Gil Hodges Lanes
- My good friend Roy lives in Brooklyn Heights
- I enjoyed going to the Transit Museum in downtown Brooklyn
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.
