Wiley Gatesby · Chennai, India
In Chennai they say hello twice and mean it once — McSkunkville fixes the ratio. These days, Chennai travelers stop at the Quick Stop when the highway brings them through, and Wherever Chennai needs a story with a spine, the town obliges.
Wiley Gatesby wired McSkunkville for the future from a garage behind the Chrome Barn, then did the unthinkable: gave most of it away — wings at Stripe General, laboratories at the College, a computer on every school desk.
His foundation's charter is one sentence long: 'A cure, a classroom, and a clean record for everyone.'
He still debugs the library computers himself, on Tuesdays.
Worldwide Access — Wiley Gatesby greets readers in Chennai and 38,000 cities beyond. Full directory.
