Hi Debra Fan,
You're welcome. I'm not offended at all. I'll post as soon as I can remember where I read her mother's maiden name is Simons. They actually used it in the episode where Jack embarrassed his son at a school dance - by dancing. It's the one where Debra says, "...and that snooty Sandy Simons stole my boyfriend at the dance." I read it - I'm just at a loss where. Have a good week!

>>LOS ANGELES, July 11 ? After running a tournament that
>>lured more than 658,000 fans to women's soccer games,
>>Women's World Cup President and CEO Marla Messing says
>>the only running she will do in the coming weeks is on
>>local sidewalks. And, she said, she plans to turn her
>>attention from filling stadiums nationwide to bringing
>>a much smaller crowd together: her family.
>>
>>Messing led the Women's World Cup effort for three
>>years and also directed the marketing effort for the
>>1994 men's World Cup, which sold 3.5 million tickets
>>for games throughout the United States. With the
>>conclusion of this three-week tournament Saturday,
>>Messing said she plans to duck out of the spotlight ?
>>and into her own house in Brentwood, Calif.
>>
>>The tournament, which drew record-breaking crowds,
>>ended with the U.S. team's victory over China in
>>Saturday's championship match in front of 90,185 at
>>the Rose Bowl. That was the largest crowd to attend a
>>women's sporting event.
>>
>>Though Messing has been mentioned as a possible
>>successor to Major League Soccer Commissioner Doug
>>Logan, she said her most ambitious goal for the coming
>>months is to run the New York City marathon for the
>>first time. And her most serious ambition is to get
>>reacquainted with her husband, Brett, and daughters
>>Natalie, 2, and Samantha, who will turn 1 in August.
>>
>>"Working and having a family, it's a lot," Messing
>>said. "I was able to do it because my job was finite.
>>It had an end in sight. It's a challenge to have a
>>family and give them everything they need, when you
>>have a job as demanding as this. I couldn't do this
>>again if it was a permanent position. These jobs are
>>sprints, not marathons. You sacrifice."
>>
>>Messing's work ethic is such that she worked on the
>>business plan for the Women's World Cup until the very
>>day she gave birth to Samantha ? who was born on a
>>Thursday night late last summer. Messing went back to
>>work the next week, albeit from a home office.
>>
>>Brett Messing, a Harvard law school graduate and
>>chairman of his own company in Santa Monica, often
>>works the same 12-hour days as his wife. The two have
>>employed a live-in nanny to take care of their
>>children.
>>
>>"We're very excited about having her back," he said.
>>"I don't think Marla's had a day off since February
>>1st. It's been every single weekend, seven days a
>>week. . . . I hope she does nothing for a while.
>>Samantha and Natalie and I voted, and we voted for
>>nothing."
>>
>>After attending law school at the University of
>>Chicago, Marla Messing joined Latham & Watkins in Los
>>Angeles, where she worked under Alan Rothenberg, the
>>former president of the U.S. Soccer Federation who ran
>>the 1994 men's World Cup. She was acclaimed for her
>>work on that tournament, which churned out about $70
>>million in profits.
>>
>>When all the accounting is complete, the Women's World
>>Cup is expected to have generated a surplus of from $2
>>million to $7 million. In fact, Messing said,
>>organizers intended for the tournament merely to break
>>even, as they kept pouring extra money back into it to
>>make it a first-class event.
>>
>>Because of the surplus, Messing told the 20 U.S.
>>players today they had earned a $750,000 team bonus
>>for their exceptional work ? as players and promoters
>>? during the tournament. The other profits will go to
>>the U.S. Soccer Foundation.
>>
>>Messing said she plans to finish the tournament's
>>bookkeeping as soon as possible and get on with her
>>extended vacation.
>>
>>"Apparently there are bets on how long it will be
>>before I will go back to work," Messing said. "I'm
>>sure it will be a shock to my system to have free days
>>seven days a week. I don't know how long it's going to
>>last, but I'm going to give it a try."
