Richey Service Slated: McKeesport Heritage Center wraps up its year-long celebration of the life of pioneering aviatrix Helen Richey with a graveside memorial service Saturday.

The service will be held at McKeesport and Versailles Cemetery at 1:30 p.m. in honor of what would have been Richey's 100th birthday. In event of inclement weather, events will be moved to the cemetery's mausoleum.
