Yes, his father has a profile now, but it can't be connected to this profile until Lisa Murphy either (1) connects it, (2) changes the privacy setting on the profile so someone else can connect it, or (3) adds someone else to the trusted list so they can connect the father's profile. I've sent her a trusted list request.
