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.

Sometimes College Students Do Not Use Common Sense
I work in a college with a relatively small campus of about 50 acres, yet I regularly see students skateboarding. It is a pain in a neck at times to avoid these kids who can easily walk from one building to the next. Today I saw a kid trying to do that in a corrider that is narrow since it is adjacent to a construction site. I asked him nicely to just carry his skateboard through this passageway. He did that for about 10 seconds and after I turned my head he started to sidewalk surf. C'mon guys, there is a time and place for skateboarding, but please don't do it on a crowded campus.
I also observed students wearing shorts and flip-flops in the winter. I am not their father and just can' stop them.
What can I say? A little common sense and courtesy go a long way in this world.
