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.
