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.

Another Milestone Anniversary - But 40 Years Ago I Missed It

People are writing on social media their memories of the NYC blackout on July 13, 1977. I don't have any memories of that event since at that time I was living in New London, CT while I was working as a chemist for Pfizer. It was very said as there was a lot of looting that night. I remember listening to WCBS 880 AM for a while that evening and phoning my parents the next day to make sure that everything was OK.
