Kudos to my colleague Kim Lankford, who today won a Best in Business award in the personal finance category from the Society of American Business Editors and Writers for articles she wrote for Kiplingers Personal Finance about Alzheimers. Heres the citation: PERSONAL FINANCE Winner: Kimberly Lankford, Kiplinger, for stories on financial planning for Alzheimer’s disease. While Alzheimer’s is a widely known ailment, the enormous financial toll is rarely discussed. Lankford presented the material in an upfront but easy to understand way. It gave different examples of how families are coping. This is true service journalism that educated the reader, and most likely helped people grappling with which way to turn. Let me add in passing that not only is Kim a wonderful financial journalist, she may be the biggest baseball fan Ive ever known. How else would you characterize someone who not only took her young son to see a Red Sox game in Boston, but got tickets in the first row behind the visitors dugout at Fenway. So shes a great mom, too.
