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.

I Will Always Call it the 59th Street Bridge
Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel who are Queens natives did an excellent job writing and performing the 59th Street Bridge Song. I will always call it the 59th Street Bridge, not the Queensboro Bridge nor the Ed Koch Bridge. The former mayor deserves to be honored by having a major building named for him. I agree with Councilman Peter Vallone who suggested that Gracie Mansion be renamed for Ed Koch. However, the City Council overwhelmingly voted to name it the Ed Koch - Queensboro Bridge.
