About the Author

Gebbie graduated in medicine from the University of Glasgow. After working in several hospitals, he joined the Royal Navy and following his discharge he married a beautiful nurse named Anne. Gebbie and Anne had a son, born in Glasgow, and the three of them emigrated to Canada.

With a year contract from the Newfoundland government, Gebbie practiced as a G.P. in a small Out Port just on the edge of civilization. While there he had a daughter, born in Gander.

His next home was Brampton, Ontario, a small town twenty-five miles from Toronto. After six years there and two more girls added to the Gebbie family, he decided to specialize in anesthesia. He did his training for three years and then worked at one of Toronto's University teaching hospitals.The next move was to Cincinnati where Gebbie worked for twenty years until retiring to Naples, Florida. Unfortunately, he and his wife lost their son at age fifty of heart disease and one of our girls to breast cancer at age forty. Gebbie’s wife, Anne, passed away four years ago.

Great support and warranty
The leaf blower has not been so great and then a failure. The warranty and support from Asurion was fantastic. Glad I made the purchase.

Protect if you use a lot
I rarely get insurance on flights or trips but when I bought my steam generator, I just thought why not, I use this thing almost every other day. And it broke after 16 months of use, and they reviewed my claim within 15 minutes and sent the gift card so I got a brand new replacement generator for a $10 Asurion warranty I bought at that time a couple years ago. Best move ever made.
