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.

All Star Fan Fest at the Javits Center

Since I bought a 6 pack of tickets the Mets sent me free tickets to the All Star Fan Fest at the Javits Center. I met Karen and Lee there after work. There were plenty of fun and games for the kids and memorabilia for sale. We bought two t-shirts and a model of the home run apple with an All Star logo. We met Matt Thornton now owns the Jay Buckley Baseball Tours. I related some of out experiences on the tours we took in 2006, 2007 and 2010.

Michael Kay was doing his ESPN radio talk show from the fan fest. After the show he met with some fans. Below is a photo of him with yours truly and Lee.
