We begin by reviewing the history of Aaronson's entry into the study of dark matter and velocity dispersions. A short review of mass estimations and dark matter in spirals, small groups of galaxies, dwarf irregulars, and dwarf spirals follows. We then discuss velocity dispersions in the five dwarf spheroidals Fornax, Carina, Sculptor, Draco, and Ursa Minor. A new velocity histogram for Draco and Ursa Minor is shown. We then end with some questions and theoretical and observational needs.
