A note from the Editor in Chief Gail Rock * Canadian Apheresis Group, 199-435 St. Laurent Blvd, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
The testimonials above all give abundant evidence as to why Dr Jeane Hester was chosen as the recipient of this year’s Cohn de Laval award.

I thank you Jeane, as does, I know, the apheresis community for all that you have done. Again, congratulations and very best wishes for the future.
