@Jeano467 Thank you for remembering. I had a wonderful time. Finally got one of those early hints of fall days where the sun was warm but not hot and NO RAIN!!! Hope you are doing well.

If only the world was full of more people like Sir Banting ...

[Jon Cooper 🇺🇸 @joncoopertweets]

This is Sir Frederick Banting. He discovered insulin in 1923.

But he refused to put his name on the patent. Why?

Because Banting felt it was unethical to profit from a discovery that would save lives.

But pharmaceutical companies made huge financial offers to Banting for the patent, knowing they could make billions.

They even sweetened the deal, offering an insulin clinic, with Sir Banting in charge... a temping offer to almost doctor in his position.

Banting, however, said his discovery of isolated insulin was a gift to mankind. He felt this critical medicine should be available to everyone who needed it.

In 1923, Banting was just 31 years old when he was awarded the Nobel Prize.

Tragically, in 1941 while flying on a plane to personally protect scientific secrets from the Nazis, his plane crashed. He was killed.

Banting's co-inventors, in his honor, sold the patent for insulin to the University of Toronto for the appropriate sum they thought appropriate – one dollar.

Today, 30 million Americans with diabetes rely on his gift to mankind.

To honor Sir Frederick Banting, it should remain a gift to mankind.

This is for Maui, from a far away friend. I am so terribly sorry.

That “X” is so off-putting on my phone.

[Yo-Yo Ma @YoYo_Ma]

This is a little bit of comfort for those who need it.

@RealRonHoward Just finished The Boys in hardcover. Loved yours & Clint’s stories of family, love, life & the magic of make-believe.

@ManhattenBound 😂🤣🤣😂Now I know what's been missing in my life - a back kitchen and staff to go with it.

[ML Goucher @EmLGee]

@Jeano467 You are a dear friend! Thank you for remembering. I spent a gorgeous day at a nearby beach with hubby. The beach/ocean - post Labor Day crowds - always soothes and calms.

@te_angeli I don't engage here much. Just discovered #Endeavour, binged 8 seasons. Late to party but loved Morse. Then found your amazing photos. Thanks for my huge cougar-crush on Shaun 🤣. Glad Twitter hasn't been overtaken by nut job. 😉

@Jeano467 @_Rossaholic @ManhattenBound @gavincasalegno I heard good reviews & watched the first ep but couldn’t get into it. Too many shows to watch.

@Jeano467 @ManhattenBound @LettyA @_Rossaholic @Stranger_Things @dreamingahead I was needing something light & fun after #StrangerThings & discovered #TheSummerITurnedPretty . Oh to be a teen again & have Belly’s dilemma. Can’t I have both Conrad & Jeremiah? 😁😈😇
