When I remember Dad (Irving Slutsky 1917-1997) I remember that he introduced me to many of the things that I enjoy to this day. It was July 15, 1957 when he took me to my first baseball game at Ebbetts Field as the Brooklyn Dodgers beat the Milwaukee Braves 20-4. He was disappointed when the Dodgers moved to LA in and greatly anticipated the return of National League baseball to NYC. Thus he and I became Met fans in 1962. Thus, today Karen, Lee and I will be going to see the Mets. I also remember first hearing top 40 radio in Dad's car all those years ago.
I also remember him for encouraging me when there were disappointments in life. I miss him after all these years.
Happy Birthday to readers of Bruce's Journal who are Dads.
