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.

Visit to the New York Historical Society Today
The New York Historical Society Museum was the third cultural institution that I visited during this holiday break, I was attracted to Silicon City: Computer History Made in New York City. This exhibit displayed images, artifacts, interactives, and oral histories, that explore local innovations that were key to computer development, from vacuum tubes and punched cards to transistors. It showed how New York was a hub for imagining, developing, and selling the computer technology that changed our lives
Another exhibit that I enjoyed was Superheroes in Gotham which tells the story of the birth of comic book superheroes in New York City and the leap of comic book superheroes from the page into radio, television, and film. It featured my favorite Superman as well as Batman, Spiderman, Ironman, and Wonder Woman.
A replica of the famous Batmobile was in the exhibit
