ONE
Charleston, South Carolina Monday, 4:57 A.M.
When Jesse Wheedles was a young man stationed at the Charleston Naval Base, he had a very precise and accurate job description. The Athens, Georgia, native was chief mess management specialist. He was proud of that position. Wheedles was more than just a cook, more than just a bagger who put together MREsmeals ready to eatfor consumption by sailors in transit. Wheedles was a craftsman. His job was to make certain that whatever their rating, whatever their taste, when someone sat down in his mess hall, he or she had the best soup, hottest entre, and finest cookies and coffee in the United States Navy.
He had a paper napkin signed, Amazing food! by Undersecretary Sabrina Brighton proving just how well he had succeeded.
Wheedles wondered what life would have been like had he stayed with the navy. After his hitch, he took over the family restaurant, a roadside diner that was struggling to survive in the face of fast food and coffee bars. They hung on ten years, after which his dad sold the property to a developer, divided the profit among his three sons, and called it a day.
Wheedles lost his share of the $90,000 in an Internet start-up.
Now both the former mess chief and the naval base were doing something else. The base had been there for nearly ninety-five years, ever since President Theodore Roosevelt visited Charleston for its bicentennial celebration and decided that it would be a more suitable location for a naval facility than Beaufort. His decision didnt sit well with the citizens of that city, who sent a wreath and their condolences when the base finally closed.
