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.

Mediocre salt and pepper grinders
Color: Upgrade Silver, Size: Rechargeable
Pros: They do work, and they are rechargeable. Cons: the motors run really slow, capacity is low, The charging tray you have to empty frequentlyto reduce buildup underneath the salt and pepper grinders.

Excellent Pepper Grinder
Color: Upgrade Black, Size: Rechargeable
I've had several pepper grinders over the years, and none was as easy and smooth to use as this one. It fills easily, and it grinds evenly and smoothly with a gentle press of the button. I am glad there are two, just in case one does give out, I will have the other to use, as I am not interested in grinding salt. It runs so effortlessly that you have to be a little careful when picking it up that you do not accidentally engage the button before you want the pepper to come out. I love it, and came back here after using it for two months just to let you know.

Greatest Kitchen Item I've Bought in Years
Color: Upgrade Black, Size: Rechargeable
These grinders are awesome. No more tedious grinding, or endless shaking! I love the adjustable grind levels (I like mine fairly coarse), and these hold a charge for a long time - months. My friends are super impressed when they visit, and will probably be buying these too.
