trade he's learned over tile years.
"I've done a lot of rcading and
worked with my dad." he said.
"I've spent some time studying
Hepplewhite and Chippendale and
traveled around to antique places
to look at furniture,"
Besides a love of furniture, Bob
also has an extensive architectural
background. A native of upstate
Delaware, he spent 14 years in ar-
chitectural design and was the
project manager for the construc-
tion of Dover High School at the
tender age of 23.
He was also instrumental in the
building of several high schools in

and tapering.
Craft work is another facet of
the business. Blue herons, carved
from salt-treated yellow pine.
Honduras mahogany candle
stands with shaker hurricane
lamps and other tasteful and deco-
rative items are also created by the
Berrys.
Bob said he obtains wood used
at his shop from different places,
including saw mills and lumber
yards.
Little goes to waste, since cut-
off pieces of wood left over from
bigger projects are often used in
their crafts.
Different types of wood and a
wide variety of finishes lends each
piece its own distinct personality.
Bob said he doesn't mind talking
about the wood and finishes with
his customers.
"We use different types of wood
for different effects," he said.
"They [customers] are buying a
piece of furniture that will hope-
fully last a lifetime."
Mary Lou does the painting of
the furniture and is an extremely
talented craftswoman, saidBob.
"She doesn't know how good she
is," he said.
Currently, the Berrys are gear-
ing up for Rehoboth Beach's Sea
Witch Festival, where their work
will be on display and for sale.

Bob said he's studied the classics.
The attention to detail in the
Berry Patch's reproduction pieces
is not to go unnoticed. All of the
pieces are handmade from start to
finish, including the dove-tailing

Lambly and her husband came
to Milton 18 months ago when
their quest for a home near the wa-
ter brought them to southern
Delaware. Through visiting her
daughter at Dover Air Force Base,
they came to like the area, and re-
al estate prices were more attrac-
tive here than in New Jersey.
"We found prices reasonable,

Business After Hours set for Oct. 30
The Rehoboth Beach-Dewey Beach Chamber of Commerce will hold
Business After Hours on Thursday, Oct. 30 from 5 to 7 p.m. at Sir
Guy's Restaurant & Pub.
This is a change from thethird to the fifth Thursday of the month. The
date was changed to avoid a conflict with the Jazz and Sea Witch Festi-
vals.
To host Business After Hours in 1998, call Gina at 227-2233, Ext. I I.
from the crush of summer
tourists," she said. "Milton still
has small town qualities that are
nice."
The new executive secretary
comes into the chamber of com-
merce position at a time when the
organization is rebuilding and
scheduling a full calendar of tradi-
tional and new activities. As she
carries out the regular office rou-
tine of membership mailing and
providing information for visitors,
she also is working with commit-
tee members as they prepare for
the Pumpkin Festival and the Hol-
ly Fest.
As she learns things such as the
nature of the Fall Bass Tourna-
ment and how to find the name of
the winner of the hot air balloon
ride, she finds that the good nature
of those she works with makes the
job fun and interesting.
"We laugh a lot here, and I've
found that what you have to do at
a job is not as important as how
well you get along with the peo-
ple," she said. "It doesn't matter
how hard or how boring a job may
be, if you like the people who
work with and enjoy them, you're
going to be happy."
