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.

I Survived My Retirement Party with Flying Colors

Yours Truly with President Joel Bloom of NJIT

I didn't realize how popular I was at NJIT until today as about 40 people came to my retirement party. I was pleasantly surprised that President Joel Bloom stopped by as seen above.

Your truly with Provost Fadi Deek

I knew in advance that Provost Fadi Deek would also come. The Provost is the highest academic office in a university. The library reports to him.

In addition to the librarians, there were representatives from the departments of chemistry, chemical engineering, physics, civil engineering, humanities and the university administration. There was a computer in the room with access to a speaker so I put on Don Tandler's Pop Gold Radio as background music. I was guessing that there were people there who are not Bob Dylan fans.
