For Your Holiday Philanthropic Consideration -- Some of you reading this may have followed some of my links in the past to TonyRizzo, or may know him either personally or via online interactions on various email discussion lists. He's been unusually quiet online recently. It turns out his time, energy, and attention is being focused on caring for his wife, Christine, who is stricken with advanced Lyme disease.
Tony has made a tremendous contributions to TOC and to project management, especially with his involvement in the early development of the multi-project management approach that I've espoused here and in my previous life as a consultant and in the developement of the Spherical Angle collection of PM software. I would hope that the word would get spread out to all who have benefited from his work to help in his time of trial.
His collaborator, Scott Button has arranged a benevolent fund to help defray the cost of Christine's medical expenses from Lyme disease, and to help out with living expenses since Tony's full time job is to take care of Christine and act as her advocate in medical/insurance bureaucracy. Please check it out.
