The only story I have to share is that years ago, I was in touch with Cindy's son David. We're about the same age, so it was easy to find a connection. I was always cautious when talking to him, as I didn't want to seem to fan-girl over his Mom. At one point, I suggested that Cindy get on social media; that she had legions of fans loving her and wondering what she's up to. I want to say this was maybe around Motown 45, when Cindy was still, well, Cindy.
David replied that he had been encouraging her to get more "active", but that she wasn't very computer savvy and didn't really have a lot of interest in the internet. She still loved meeting her fans face to face, and enjoyed telling stories about all her travels, with all of the wonderful friends she'd met over the years. Like Mary, and Scherrie, she loved being a Supreme, and loved the connection it brought her.
David and I fell out of touch after a while, but I'm certainly thinking of him and his family.
