Adalbert Albert Vogl was born at Bavaria, Germany in 1910. He immigrated to the United States at the age of twelve, and later attended St. Joseph s parochial school in Iowa. Upon his return to Bavaria, he met Therese Neumann for the first time, later to publish Therese Neumann: Mystic and Stigmatist in 1987. Mr. Vogl is now retired and lives in San Jose, California with his wife Esther. It is his ardent hope that Therese will be quickly beatified.
