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.

Atlanta Trip - Part 2

On Tuesday July 9th, our first full day in Atlanta we visited the Georgia Aquarium which is in the same vicinity as CNN and the World of Coca Cola. Now this is three vacations in a row that we have visited aquariums:

2011 - Long Beach California
2012 - Baltimore
2013 - Atlanta

In all cases the attractions were more for small children.

From there we took the MARTA to the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Site. Our first stop was the house where Dr, King was born in 1929. From there we went to Freedom Hall which featured exhibits about Dr. King and his role in the civil rights movement. There was a reflecting pool which surrounds the tombs of Dr. and Mrs. King.
