Cuyler, former Berkshire Eage business editor, and the Rev. Jerome Joseph Day, O.S.B., former Transcript managing editor. Colleagues will read selections of Pearl's early work and remembrances from friends. The public is welcome to attend. A reception in the Mass MoCA lobby will follow the service. Sponsors are the Eagle and the Transcript. Organizers are still collecting remembrances of Danny from friends and colleagues at dpearl@berkshireeagle.com. Eagle reporter Glenn Drohan, on of the event's organizers, noted the Pearl, who was also a gifted violinist, had many close friends in Berkshire County. He returned often to visit over the years, particularly to a summer music festival in Clarksburg. Award-winning Celtic fiddler Kelli Trottier and singers Susan Davis and Sharon Foehl will play at Saturday's service.
