Just renewed my annual blog fee for 2019.  Maybe I should actually write something on here in 2019.  As I look back on previous entries, dating back to 2014, I realize that so much has changed. I recall first logging on and developing this blog, and showing it to my late brother Bob, who seemed to be impressed. He was still with us.

So much has changed in such a short half a decade: lost a brother, gained a new sister-in-law and a new family. Speaking of family, finally, after 54 years, met my brother and sister from my father’s first marriage (I’m from the second of three marriages).  Oh, and I went back to school, and earned a M.L.S. in Library  Science and Technology. So, I am now a New York State Librarian.

The past is still a passion: Teaching film studies at St. Francis College, LIU Post, and JCC Manhattan, in addition to libraries and other Jewish community center. Still have the published chapter on Jack Benny’s film career, but now I need to write THAT book.

There was a slight interruption in the PGH busy schedule with a cist removal for biopsy. Sign of age.

So, where am I at, and where am I going? The future knows-and working towards that goal.
