 |  | Junger, a native of Belmont, Massachusetts, who lived in Gloucester for
two years, says, "The single most important experience in my life was
undoubtedly the education I received as a child. It gave me a deep
curiosity about the world that led me, among other places, to the city
of Gloucester, and to writing The Perfect Storm. I have the deepest
admiration for the working men and women of Gloucester, and I feel that
they and their children could only benefit - as I did - from greater
educational and cultural opportunities."
