PORT ST. LUCIE PEOPLE
The MOVIE GUY (and more)
Lots of folks enjoy movies. Many people
BY ELLEN GILLETTE
would say they’re baseball fans. Thousands
of enthusiasts check out car magazines,
oohing and aahing over photographs.
Bernie Sullivan is immersed in all these pastimes,
and he’s even become a bit of a star himself on
network TV.
The resident of Port St. Lucie’s Torino neighborhood
is building a 25-seat indoor theater in his
house. He bought the property beside his home and
put in a quarter-scale ball field, “Little Polo Grounds
at Bailey Field.” And when he has time, he takes one
of his 14 automobiles to car shows.
“I’d really get some things done if I didn’t have
that 50-hour chunk of time when I have to commute
and do the job,” he says with a laugh. Sullivan, a 13-
year resident of Florida, works in West Palm Beach
as an insurance specialist for a payroll firm. Raised
in New York, he recalls, “I hated the winters and
wanted out but hadn’t gotten around to it. Then 12
major storms hit in ’93. It was time for a change.”
