“I have known Mervyn Fogel for over 23 years, and in that time, he has been “my rock”. I had gone through a difficult break-up with my wife, because of my dinking, when I first met Mervyn. In those early days, he guided me, giving me hope and continually encouraged me to “keep going”. He told me every day that things would get better, and they did”.

“Skilled in topics as diverse as mutual help and depression, he has lifted many men and women from their despair, particularly at the Florida institutions he so ably marshaled”.
