Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: When Virginia Byerly Kerr passed away last month at the age of 80, the Pittsburgh Opera lost one of its last connections to the founders of the company that is celebrating its 75th anniversary this season.
Kerr was the daughter of Virginia Byerly, one of five enterprising women who, in 1939, decided it was time for Pittsburgh to have a proper opera company, then known as the Pittsburgh Opera Society.
