The daughter of the late Dr. Noel Murphy of Corner Brook was in the Bayfm studio with Terry Boland this week. Gerene Collingwood says her father was born in a medical and communications family. She says his father was a doctor in St. John’s and died of polio. Collingwood says she started nursing for her father back in 1969. She was a nurse in California for about 3 years before returning home. She says her father’s grandfather, Jack Murphy founded the first radio station VONF in St. John’s in 1932. Collingwood says her father was always interested in radio and started working on establishing a radio station in Corner Brook around 1959. Stuffing the turkey with Murphy was a radio event Collingwood will always remember. Dr. Noel Murphy sold his radio station during his senior years.
