| Notes |
- Information Source: Peter Collard - Collard Geneaology.
During her attendance at "l'Avenie College which was conducted by her
grandaunts, the Pignolet sisters, Val was taught by Professor Guerin. Two of
her elder cousins, linda and Emma Collard who were also students were required
to teach some of the younger children. Val had a particular affection for her
grandaunt, Nele Pignolet (1857 - 1935) who was known as Tante Nelie. The
latter frequently arranged prayer meetings for some of the children in her
bedroom, while others stayed outside to play. Over a period of many years, Val
enjopyed a close friendship with her spinster cousin Nellie Collard who was
affectionatley known as "Little Nel" to distinguish her from Tante Nellie.
Following her husband Cameron's Death in 1976, Val ytravelled to Melbourne
several times where she stayed at a motel close to Nelie's flat. Nelie loved
her food and the pair frequently visited restaurants for lunch. An
establishment known as "The Green Room" was one of their favourites. She
travelled 8 times to England, meeting Cliff in Cornwall during her third trip,
in July 1982
