Our story of Kindall
Edward Calvin Kendall, a chemist at the Mayo Clinic, spent years purifying hormones from the adrenal glands; one of them, cortisone, was given to a patient crippled by rheumatoid arthritis, and within days she could walk. Kendall shared the Nobel Prize in medicine for the work. Kindall, spelled with an i, may have been chosen so the name starts with kind; the record does not say. It is easy and friendly to say.
