My memories of Robert started when I lived in Bendigo with my parents Horace and Lilian Qualtrough. I attended the Bendigo technical School in the evening when I was 17-20 years of age. My parents told me that my dad had a cousin who was a Teacher there. I felt very proud that he was a cousin of mine. Before this I went to the Bendigo Business College where I met his sister Margaret. Robert was much older than me but he was a very nice man.
