AZ Historymaker 2023 Dr. Von Hoff interviewed by Carey Pena

 Carey Pena comments after interviewing 2023 Arizona Historymaker™ Dr. Daniel Von Hoff: 

Standing with one of the world’s foremost oncologists Dr. Daniel Von Hoff. He rarely does interviews, but came to our studios as part of a documentary project we are producing for Historymakers. Dr. Von Hoff’s clinical trials led to 3 of the 4 new FDA-approved therapies that improve survival for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. He’s held many prestigious positions, including @tgenresearch and has devoted his life to finding cures. However, after interviewing Dr. Von Hoff, I am convinced his greatest gift is not his brilliance. It’s his compassion for people.

Historymaker Frank Barrios honored with Al Merito Award

 2023 Arizona Historymaker™ Frank Barrios (1942-2023) continues to be remembered. Historymaker interviewer Zona Lorig writes, “I was at the AHS Annual Meeting Sept 29 to accept the Al Meritorious Award on behalf of Frank Barrios. Norma Jean Coulter is the Historical League member who worked with Frank since he was named a Historymaker. She did two oral histories, gathered all his photos, gave them to the Heritage Center and asked me to accept it in his memory.”

We will also honor him at the Turquoise & Treasures Historymakers Celebration October 14.
