OLIVIA Newton-John had a unique connection with the University of Newcastle, born after it gave her family archival material about her late father Professor Brinley Newton-John, who worked at the institution for 16 years.
UON archivist Gionni Di Gravio OAM still has the card Ms Newton-John sent him in 2010, after he compiled video footage, photos and files for the Newton-John family about their patriarch's time at the university.
