Enniskillen, County Fermanagh, Ireland gave birth to Denis Parsons Burkitt on 28 February 1911. He grew up there, attended Portora Royal School, and carried that origin into a medical life that spanned continents. The town did not need to understand lymphoma or dietary fiber to matter; it supplied the boy who would later ask those questions.
