Are there any videos of Fighting Nurse Mary out there?

Now that is a good question.....Mary not her real name but is a real nurse and a wonderful woman....basically did private matches at the time for a man who is now deceased....I am sure there are some tapes of her in the hand of competitors against her but in the spirit Of taping a private match they will probably not surface....She allowed many photos of her matches to be posted and has been at a great ambassador for the sport for many years......
I checked with an old cyber friend that is very much in the know regarding this and this was his answer:
I have never seen any, unfortunately. As far as I know, the guy who sponsored her (JJ) only published pics of her matches and kept all the videos to himself. He passed away in February 2020 and no one knows if his estate kept, sold or destroyed his collection of videos, including whatever he had of Fighting Nurse Mary.
With bayguy's answer and my old friends answer I looks like I have my answer.

JJ way back in the day put up pics of Mary vs young gal Crystal. I inquired and he offered to sell me a copy at $200. Now this was back 18 years or so ago?
Too much money for me so I passed. Kinda got the sense it should have been private but he got $ in his eyes.
I do see this Crystal girl in CF-22 Spanish Cats I think it is. Sure would have liked to see the Fighting Nurse manhandling the young girl.
I always hoped that at least one vid of Mary would surface someday, but was resigned to the likelihood that this would never happen. I always enjoyed the photos that she posted on her blog. They served to whet my appetite for more.
WOW!!! Talk about a blast from the past. Mary the Fighting Nurse.
I loved seeing those pictures. And if I remember right, she would pose with her opponent before the fight, and the two women would be all smiles. But when it came time to fight, they really went at it.
Very exciting stuff. I can't believe it was so long ago.
