At the MacGregor Library the film crew filmed the "Derry Room" where historical manuscrips, genealogies and local history are stored. There is a fine old stained glass window that used to be in the MacGregor home at this location, before it was donated for a public library. Downstairs, in the meeting room, MacGregor descendants and descendants of other early Nutfield setters gathered to meet up with some MacGregor descendants from Northern Ireland. A fine time was had by everyone who attended.

Ainsley and Alan Laughlin from Northern Ireland met with their distant cousins, and also local Derry residents like Phyllis Katsakiores, Derry's state representative, and Rev. Dr. Deborah Roof of First Parish Congregational Church in East Derry ( which was once Rev. MacGregor's parish church) |
