This issue is dedicated in honor of Victor A. Nichols on his 90th birthday, by his family and friends.

"I have been acquainted with VHL several times over the years.

I have lost seven people near and dear to me with VHL. We lost a sister-in-law in 1935, 18 years old. A twin daughter in 1968, 29 years old. Our oldest son in 1975, 39 years old. A grandson in 1985 at 26 years old. My wife in 1985 at 70 years old. A grandson in 1987 at 24 years old. A daughter, the other twin, in 2000 at 61 years old.

We did not know about VHL until 1987 when one of my grandsons was in the hospital and one of the doctors found out. My contribution for all families with VHL is HOPE."
