GARDENS HORROR

No doubt many readers of your paper shared my thoughts of amazement concerning two articles in a recent Daily Break.

The first described a series of classes given by the major airlines to ease the fear of flying.

The second, by staff writer Lawrence Maddry, depicted Halloween ``fun and games'' at the Botanical Garden.

If the Vietnam vets wish to entertain us with scenes of body parts from an airline crash, they have succeeded in creating the desired reaction - pure horror.

Let's hope Norfolk's kids won't suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder after a Halloween ride through the gardens.
