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.

Arrived in Seattle Saturday July 20

Taken from the Bottom of the Space Needle

I decided not to take my laptop to Seattle as to not spend too much time on vacation on my computer. I did take my Kindle Fire to be able to "keep in the loop", but I could not write long articles so since I got home, I will be catching up with Bruce's Journal.

The trip started perfectly as the cab to JFK airport arrived at 7 AM. We took Alaska Airline flight 349 which arrived at 12:15 PM PDT. When we arrived at our hotel we realized that the Space Needle and Seattle Center were within walking distance. The Space Needle was constructed for the 1962 Worlds Fair and is now a big tourist attraction. The Seattle Center is an active civic arts and family gathering place. We heard a Crosby Stills Nash and Young cover band.
