'Cook of the Week 1
Wanda Sullivan learns 'long-distance' dishes
By Pauline Lewie
Society Editor
Wanda Sullivan, a Perry
businesswoman, is the Houston
Times-Journal’s "Cook of the
Week.”
She and her husband, Patrick
(Pat) are owners of W.D. Sullivan
& Co., at the comer of Jemigan
and Carroll Streets.
They carry lines of fine gifts and
office supplies and have been in
business here since June 1992,
when they purchased it, then known
as Shaheen’s, from the Shaheen
family.
A native of Bibb County, Wanda
and her family moved to Houston
County in 1968 and she graduated
from Warner Robins High School.,
completed Macon College
coursework in 1978 and University
of Georgia coursework in 1984.
She completed various
employer-sponsored courses in
supervisory training, documentation
maintenance, U. S. Government
Industrial Security and Contract
Management.
Prior to owning W. D. Sullivan
& Co., her work experience
included six years in
Operations/Payroll of the Finance
program in the 2853rd Air Base
Group at Robins AF Base and three
years as administrative assistant in
the Program Office of Litton
Systems, Applied Technology
Division.
For four years she was a
supervisor in Tech
Support/Administration with
Comarco in the Logistics
Technology Division.
She worked five years in various
programs with Logistic Systems
Architects, Inc., and a year as an
analyst with the Electronic Systems
of ARINC Research Corporation
Her background experience has
evidently fitted her well for
operating her business successfully.
When asked how she learned to
cook, she said, “I learned to cook
after marriage and via telephone
from the school of “Mom, how do
you do it?”
“My family still goes to
grandmother’s to eat. Patrick likes
to grill and is a good cook; my
mom taught him how to make
biscuits.
"His sister is a chef and his
mom is a wonderful cook and
baker. In fact, most of my recipes
have come from her. She is
Marjorie (Maij) Sullivan and lives
in Downers Groove, 111. She flies
down and bakes for us at
Christmas.
“I was formerly known as the
Celebrities
will bag for
kids' safety
On Saturday, September 17,
from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., some of
Perrymost well-known celebrities
will be bagging groceries at Kroger,
in an effort to raise money for Safe
Kids of Georgia in Houston County
and create awareness about the
prevention of childhood injuries.
Each year, more children are
killed because of injuries that are
preventable and costly. Last year in
Georgia, over 100 children were
killed in motor vehicle and bike
crashes. Such injuries and deaths
can be prevented with a child safety
seat or a bike helmet.
“The health and safety of our
children is the responsibility of all
of us,” said Melanie Elliott,
coordinator of Safe Kids of Georgia
in Houston County. “This event
allows everyone in the community
to contribute. Whether you are
bagging groceries, learning about
safety or buying groceries, you can
make a difference in a child’s life.”
Funds raised from Safe Kids Day
and a donation of a percentage of
sales on September 17 from Kroger
will be used by the Safe Kids of
Georgia in Houston County
Coalition to purchase child safety
seats, bike helmets, smoke
detectors and other pieces of child
safety equipment for children in the
area who are in need.
In addition to the celebrity
grocery baggers, Safe Kids Day will
feature safely exhibits, drawings for
free bike safety helmets and car
seats, bike registration, child

“Cheese Cake Lady”: because I
made them commercially for
restaurants in Macon, Warner
Robins and Houston Lake Country
Club.”
Patrick is accounting manager at
Zantop International Airlines at
Macon Airport. He and Wanda have
a cooking routine: if she cooks, he
cleans up the kitchen; if he cooks,
she cleans.
They have three sons: Sheldon,
a 10th grader at Warner Robins
High School, is still at home and
the older sons are in Colorado. The
oldest son, Sean, is at Ft. Collins,
doing graduate work (majoring in
Finance), and teaching in college.
The No. 2 son, Brandan, is in
college in the Denver area; in
January, he will enter the Denver
Police Academy.
The following recipes are some
of Wanda’s favorites. Since she is a
working woman, she likes things
that she can prepare ahead.
