The recipient was Neal Cassady's son, named in honor of Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac. This is an excellent association: Kerouac and Ginsberg were very fond of John, who appeared as Timmy in Kerouac's Big Sur (1962). John recalled that "Jack and Allen were sort of godparents. Ginsberg would introduce me as Allen and say, 'I'm his godfather. This is Allen Cassady’.
