The Pensacola News Journal is reporting that Gregg Philbin, co-founding member of REO Speedwagon and long-time Gulf Breeze resident, is presenting one of his platinum albums for the 1976 album "Live: You Get What You Play For" in gratitude to the Andrews Institute.
Philbin has suffered three strokes since 2001, with the latest coming in January 3 of this year and has done physical rehabilitation at the Institute.
Since the January stroke, Philbin has visited the Andrews Institute and Inzillo twice a week, to work on simple things, largely balance-oriented. Inzillo had him walk steps, lift legs over obstacles and a host of other exercises to help him regain his strength and balance.
