Larry Beads --- When Larry’s P.X. had to close because of last month’s accident, the community responded with financial aid for the staff. Vangie Collins, a local glass blower and creator of the Larry Beads (pictured here), and the Pals For Life Foundation raised enough to write checks to each one of Larry’s employees in early December. The GoFundMe continues and will contribute to a benefit planned for Jan. 8 at Knots Landing. For information or to contribute, visit PalsForLife.com or Vangie Collins on Facebook. COURTESY PHOTO
