“My Dorothy”

Shortly after the company was founded; Dr. Shaklee demonstrated his youthful outlook in another way.  He fell deeply in love.

Friends had tried to introduce him to one eligible woman after another.   But Dr. Shaklee let it be known that his had been a happy marriage and that part of life was over for him.  He was content to concentrate on his sons and their families, his research and the exciting challenge of his new business.  His tailor was a particularly persistent matchmaker, however, who insisted that he meet Dorothy Potter.

Fifteen months later, Dr. Shaklee and the woman he always called “My Dorothy” were married on the moonlit shores of Lake Tahoe, proving that romance was not the exclusive property of the young.

Dr. Shaklee picked exactly the right partner for his new life.  Dorothy loved people as much as he did.  Her easy laughter, instinctive graciousness and flawless memory for names and birthdays made her enormously popular with Shaklee distributors.

The happy working relationship the Shaklee’s shared set the example for the thousands of successful couples who have joined in the Shaklee business over the years.
