'Side note: There was some sort of connection between the Richwood family and Mary Hoyer..Mary Hoyer is known to have visited them. Richwood issued the Cindy Lou dolls right after Hoyer discontinued the walker dolls because the walking mechanisms were cranky and often had problems. The Cindy Lous often have problems with the walking mechanisms...they tend to "stick." ' -- Andy DeWitt
