Joseph C. Martin

As a recovering alcoholic & a priest, he's done a lot of good & speaks/writes very well - truly a fantastic speaker. I've met him at his rehab center, Father Martin's Ashley (was the Tydings place until Joe sold it), located on the Susquehanna & a couple of other times in the surrounding area.

While I respect Father Martin tremendously, his Chalk Talks use a pseudo-science that sticks in my craw. Either use the real thing or skip it, IMO. It just makes the logical argument illogical, ruins the basis for it. That's not to say all of this is bad, much of what he says is true. His message on recovery & alcoholism is great for the most part.
