Sister Martina Michaels AKA fatso diMARTINo AKA Mike Martino

[mjpierce5]

I posted a message about this in the thread about the $5000 mute concerning Sister Martina Michaels AKA fatso diMARTINo AKA Mike Martino. After connecting the dots here, at Saxontheweb.net, Ebay, and Trumpetmaster, I felt that I needed to post about it in its own thread. I almost bid on the trumpet at this link http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180436440440&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_1327wt_958. I decided to check out the seller, and I'm glad I did. I found threads on the sites listed above that connected the three identities together. I then used tineye.com to check out the picture that Sister Martina has of herself. The picture is actually Sister Anastazja Pustelnik of Poland. Martino apparently took the picture from here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32007884/ns/today-today_books/.

Buyer beware, and thanks to those of you here who saved me and my son some money and trouble.
Sincerely,
Michael

wondering. did you look at feedback from roccobop? and see items sold.

I almost bid on a NOS Conn leadpipe today. When I glanced at the feedback score (which I often forget to do with inexpensive items), I noticed Sister MM is the seller. I guess the "sister" is still around...

BTW... I decided *not* to bid, in case any of you wanted to take your chances.

Did you have opportunuty to address "the dear sister" to ask how her church work was coming along? Suspect that she has deep "manly" voice, too!
