Allan Bikofsky and Joe Steinberg met in kindergarten at the Morrison School in Roxbury 95 years ago.
On Jan. 8, Bikofsky turned 100; heâll be followed by Steinberg on Feb. 28. Their friendship has endured World II and the Great Depression, the Vietnam War, and the tumult of the Donald Trump presidency. Not even the COVID-19 pandemic has kept them from staying in touch.
âWell, we enjoy one anotherâs company,â Steinberg said. âWe wanted to know what we each were doing. There was a bond there â itâs hard to describe. Itâs almost as if I had another brother.â
In case you were wondering about a few others stories, here is what fell just off our top 10 list: an essay about why we’re afraid of Mormons, the launch of BU’s COVID-19 dashboard, the resumption of in-person classes, a piece on the aging brain and Joe Biden being the oldest president, and BU’s exciting hire of Ibram X. Kendi to launch the Center for Antiracist Research.
