As of March 2011, I have been in Costa Rica for three months following my retirement after 38 1/2 years at Buffalo State College. In addition to my long career in Special Education, I have been involved in the fields of creativity, humor and magic. Through that work, I have traveled to Cyprus, Singapore, England, Costa Rica and seven visits to South Africa in the past eight years with another coming in October, 2011. My second book came out last year "The Almost Wet Your Pants Book of Humor" which is widely available. My current hobbies include urban line dancing, Tai Chi, rock balancing, writing, magic and training/teaching.
Overall, I have been blessed with reasonably good health, and an exciting career. My children have had more challenges than most as they continue the process of finding their ways. A few photos of some adventures are available here and on FaceBook.

Bruce was really a great guy. I last saw him at one of our reunions years ago. Eddie Southard and I first met Bruce in th 7th grade and remained friends until graduation. His nickname became Doberman, named after the comedy star in the Sgt. Bilko TV series. It is not surprising that his carrer involved the study of comedy. I read his Obit, and reviewed all of the wonderful commenrs from his students and friends who loved him. RIP. Mitch

I am of course sorry to hear of Bruce's passing.  He and I were freinds from an early age.   We both attended North Avondale for grade school, then Woodward, and University of Cincinnati.   We were freinds for all those years.  I still have grade school class pictures of Bruce.  He was truly a nice person and always quite freindly and happy.

He David Korros and I were close  freinds thru high school and college and took several road trips together.   I can remember a trip to Pittsburgh in 1960 when Cincinati Reds were in contention for first place and Bruce slapping a root the reds home sticker on a pirate logo in front of Forbes Field.  There was also the trip to New York for the worlds fair.  Great memories.

Tried to call him and email him before last classe reunion.  Now I know why I couldn't reach him.

Hey Paul... I'm coming in from Buffalo for the 55th reunion and was hoping to see you. If you're not going, maybe we could still connect for breakfast or lunch one day. Hope things are going well.....Bruce Baum
