John William "Jack" Collins (September 23, 1912 – December 2, 2001) was an American chess master, author, and teacher. == Early life == Collins was born in Newburgh, New York. "His father, John Thomas Collins, was a flutist and piccolo player who was frequently in John Philip Sousa's orchestra. His mother, Carolyn LaSears Collins, was a homemaker." Collins was confined to a wheelchair due to "a birth injury".〔Collins 1974, p. 19.〕 When he was in his teens, Collins met Frederick Huhn, the family's 80-year-old German landlord of their home at 69 Hawthorne Street in Brooklyn, NY. Frederick taught Collins how to play chess.〔Collins 1974, p. 20.〕 From there, Collins started reading chess books, eventually amassing "a library of over six hundred."〔Collins 1974, p. 22.〕
