From the Editor
I hope you enjoy this issue of the Berry Patch Gazette!
Although I don't work in the press industry, its always been a fantasy of
mine to be a newspaper editor. Ever since I was news editor of my college newspaper,
at St. Bonaventure University, I've wanted to get back to writing.
That was back in the mid-80's so you can see its been awhile! This is my first
attempt at virtual-writing so sit back and enjoy the Gazette. From time to time
I will have special features or editorials and I plan on updating the family news soon
so come on back and visit us again!

Tom's Sci-Fi Universe!
Tom, being the science fiction fan that he is, has recently developed
a new branch of The Berry Patch called Tom's Sci-Fi Universe.
This contains several pages involving tributes to Star Trek, X-Files,
and, a tribute to the graphic novel series ElfQuest.
These pages have pictures, information, interactive quizes, favorites, and
more! Most important, they are always done in good taste so the whole
family will enjoy them, even if you aren't up on the shows themselves.
And, if you are, the more you'll get out of it! So Check It Out!
