Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Mix together the rhubarb and berries.  If you use frozen, make sure to thaw first and drain.  Add the rest of the ingredients (except for the pie shell) and gently mix.  Let stand for 5 minutes.  Pour into unbaked pie shell and top with crust.  Cut slits in the top.  Bake for 40 minutes and let cool on a wire rack completely before cutting.
