DAVID ABBOTT, MD, MRCP

I have practiced medicine in Britain, Canada, and the United States, where I raised my two children. I am also a grandfather, a runner with twenty-plus marathons under my belt, and an environmentalist.

I always maintained my ties to Britain, where I now live, and over the last decade I came to realise how much of all I value depends on ideas and traditions nurtured by Brits. I saw that these values were being deliberately ignored and, in some cases, destroyed. I could not sit around and let that happen. I decided to publicise the legacy of the BRITS AT THEIR BEST.

We hope you will be inspired by what you find in this blog/website, and that you will help us to make it grow in brilliance and depth by becoming a Friend.

I am a graduate of Barnard College and Columbia University with a degree in Classical Greek. I have been an arts administrator and editor, and have written and published three books.

For eight years I have served the ill and the homeless in lay ministries at an Episcopal cathedral. I have studied British heroes, artists, and thinkers for three decades. As an American who is the descendant of English, Irish, and Czechs who loved freedom, I am dedicated to bringing the courage and spirit of Brits at their best to you .
