My wife first went there in 1966, and the slides she took then show how MUCH things have changed. Electricity in the barn but not in the house -- and then The Man did "security" for "Ryan's Daughter" (the love scene was filmed in the grove on the property) and they added a room to the house, added electricity.... "What did you do for the security?" I once asked him.

"Ah, the dog and me went down each night and closed the gate. Nobody was going there anyway," he replied.

Now, of course, it's in the Deutschtacht.....
