Hatton Ferry apparently made the Today Show this morning!  I didn't  
see it, but there's now a charming video clip up on MSNBC:

And with it, a news article that includes a progress report of sorts  
on this unique and imperilled piece of Virginia history:

http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/32859408/ns/today-today_people/

Since I don't watch morning TV and thus missed whatever was on today,  
I'd be grateful if others could confirm that the piece on the ferry  
was indeed broadcast.  The ferry still needs every bit of help it can  
get, as its future remains very much in doubt.
