Yes… it was my birthday and to say the number out loud, let alone write it down, well, somehow is still EXTREMELY difficult. My goal with this website is to attempt to figure out why, with your help. As I approached the date, and beyond it, I have been so much more reflective about my life. Stories, people, events, accomplishments, my career, family, friends, jobs and places I’ve lived, have all, recently, had greater attention as I reflect on my 6 decades of life. With this website, developed in my 60th year, I would like to share stories from my life. Some may be good, some not so good. Some will be video adventures that I will share with you, but, nonetheless, all stories of my life; memoirs, if you will. There will be room to comment so please, join me in my reflection of my life and share your thoughts, feelings and reconnect with me in this new decade. That is the only birthday present I would like or need. YOU! I look forward to sharing this new decade with you! Please join me https://brucelampmanperlman.com/Experiences Wed, 14 Jul 2021 12:48:05 +0000 Bruce Lampman Perlman https://brucelampmanperlman.com/Experiences Life is full of experiences and I have had my share. I was born Bruce Allen Tuzinski, but that changed. For the most part of my life, I grew up in Northeast Philadelphia. My “new” family moved there when I was a little boy of seven years old. That was my second experience moving. My mother remarried Edward Perlman when I was 5 years old and we moved into Bella and Max’s, his mother and father’s house, in the West Oak Lane section of Philadelphia. We were not there for very long. I attended first grade at the Rowen Elementary School and was the only caucasian boy in my first grade classroom. That I remember. Sometime during my first grade year, Edward Perlman’s father, Max, died. I did not really know him. I only remember visiting the hospital and feeling the sadness of everyone around when he died. In the summer of my first grade year, the “new” family moved to the house in Northeast Philadelphia on Levick Street where many more of my experiences were born. It seems to me that I spent most of my childhood years there on Levick Street.︎︎︎School Experience ︎︎︎Work Experience https://brucelampmanperlman.com/About-1-1 Wed, 30 Jun 2021 15:12:50 +0000 Bruce Lampman Perlman https://brucelampmanperlman.com/About-1-1 My beginnings were hardscrabble and humble. I was born in Bristol, Lower Bucks County, Pennsylvania to my biological Polish Father, Edward Tuzinski and my Scottish Mother, Alice Barbara MacKelvey. I was born in the late afternoon on March of that same year, just 3 months earlier, Edward Tuzinski, my biological father died at the age of 37 from complications of rheumatic heart disease. I was born fatherless. That’s why I use the term biological because, clearly, I never knew him. Every aspect of my life as I grew and developed was affected deeply by this loss. Yet, in my early years I was oblivious. As a young boy, I did not know I was supposed to have a “dad”, but that changed as soon as I started school. I learned in many painstaking ways how important it was to have a relationship with one’s father. I became a teacher as a result of this loss. I became a writer as a result of this loss. My personal and intimate relationships were affected by this loss. Believe it or not, loss continued to be an important, yet painful part of my personal growth and learning during my childhood and into my early adult life. Again, my career choice was based, in part, on this loss. I will explain later, but for now, suffice to write how I wanted to learn about students, education and learning, but also to develop a relationship that, as a youngster without a “biological” father, I never experienced. After attending school for a few years, I realized I was missing something. I craved this lack of a male relationship, and in order to get it, I needed to BE IT to others.&nbsp; AND selfishly enough, I wanted to learn to develop bonds and relationships with the students in my class, their parents and other teachers, as well as my colleagues. Naturally, and holistically, I had missed out on this and now needed to catch up! Teaching for me was learning about the whole child, my whole inner child, as well as those I was teaching. My lack of a “dad” in my life had created an intense void. Given this void, I still would never have believed that my story was important...&nbsp; until I came across Brene Brown’s quote. “One day you will tell your story of how you overcame what you went through and it will be someone else’s survival guide.” I knew I had to tell MY STORY and his quote has inspired me to do so.
