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.

Sad News - Gary Carter Passes Away at Age 57

The Kid is gone after losing his battle with brain cancer. He was certainly the heart and soul of the World Champion Mets in 1986. Thankfully, he lived to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. I sure hope that the Mets will retire his #8 this season at Citifield. My condolences to his family.
