Dottie Mae's Costumes |
|
About Us Dorothymae (Dottie Mae) & Harold Groves met in Washington DC and were wed in 1958. That marriage has blessed them with four children and seven grand children. They are originally from Texas, but have made Kansas City their home. Dottie Mae and Harold are true adventurers and have traveled the world. Not only did they live in Israel in the early 80's, they even spent three months back packing all over Europe in 1983! Dottie Mae loves the exciting and eccentric, although she also has a softer side where she reveals her enthusiasm for quilting. She has received numerous awards for her quilting talents. In 1969 Dottie Mae wrote a book about how to restore antique trunks, quite possibly her first "peak" at the entrepreneur world. "Her laugh is frequent and contagious, symbolic of how she enjoys life." says Tom Stagman of the Kansas City Star.

And the Grove's are ALWAYS prepared with business cards and promotional products. SMART BUSINESS! |

Harold's passion has always been cars. He loves collecting
and restoring the "oldies". Some of his collection include a
1950 pink Studebaker that he bought Dottie Mae for Valentine's Day,
a 1956 Dodge, a 1958 Edsel, a 1959 Cadillac and a 1951 Henry J that
he bought in 1953. The Grove's spend a lot of their "free"
time attending and competing in car shows across the nation.
Harold's car collection has become quite decorated with awards over
the years!
