HOBBIES: Pilot, author-teacher, and healer of the sick. Perhaps, Gamble's favorite form of relaxation is flying which he frequently enjoys with his wife, Joan, and their children Harry "The Hat", 12, and Thomas "The Tank", three months. As an author-teacher Gamble has distinguished himself in his field as one of the top names in jock literature. His book entitled Physical.

...East African Airways DC-9, for example, was to have dropped a company of paracommandos into the northern Ugandan town of Gulu. Apparently he got lost during the night and was forced to land at the Kilimanjaro Airport. The plane was found the next morning, tires flat, fuel tank empty; the pilot and his troops had disappeared into the bush, unharmed but also unsuccessful. The rebels had also counted on large numbers of soldiers from Uganda's well-armed 12,000-man army joining in the rebellion. They were wrong...
