Larry Smith Fundraiser Closing in on New Goal

Once Larry Smith got home from the hospital after totalling his van on the way back from Dragon Con, he and Sally Kobee took stock of what they’d need to get their convention bookselling business going again.

Marcia Kelly Illingworth set up a GoFundMe with an initial target of $10,000. But with the encouragement of fans who wanted to help Larry and Sally get a new van that goal was increased to $20,000.

Now the sf community hasĀ contributed $19,646 to the fund — while many donors are anonymous, there are also some pretty well-known names on the list.
