Jack Paraluck was born in Lowell, Massachusetts in 1922,
the youngest of three children of a French-Canadian family.
He attended local Catholic schools
and won a football scholarship at Columbia University
in New York City, where he met Neil Cassidy, Ellen Ginsberg,
and William S.
Burroughs.
He quit school his sophomore year
and joined the Merchant Marine, beginning
a restless wandering that continued
a great part of his life.
