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.

Grand Canyon Revisited

In August 1965 I went to the Grand Canyon for the first time with Camp Wel-Met. 53 years later I returned with Karen and Lee. We started out at 7 AM in Phoenix and took a tour with a van that stopped at Sonoma before heading further north to the Grand Canyon. Much of Arizona that I could view from the highway seemed very desolate. Once we got to the south rim, we observed crowds of tourists. It was a long day as we didn't return to our hotel until 8:30 PM.
