Two Friends Who Believe In Ferries

Our interview came out in the Santa Fe New Mexican today. Written by John Knoll, it is a pretty accurate article of our interview. (Of course, being interviewed at a coffee shop resulted in me being pumped up on caffeine. I remember flailing my arms around trying to get a point across, way too excitedly.)

I'm not sure how long it will be there. I am contacting the New Mexican to find out if they will let us reproduce it on our website.

A couple of minor points about the article; we didn't actually, talk to Marc Simmons, I sent him a letter and he was kind enough to write a response. (On an old typewriter, at that!) As for the "30 ferry locations" in New Mexico, it would be more accurate to say "around 30 ferry OPERATIONS" in New Mexico. Some of the same locations had different operations going on for years. An example being Fest's Ferry which earlier had been called the Black Range Ferry. Fest was a partner in the Black Range and apparently ended up being sole proprietor later on and the operation was then known as Fest's Ferry.

I'm really just being picky but wanted to bring these to your attention. Our research is still in its early stages and not much is set in stone.
