Tsunami posted this link in the SD forum, but I thought it deserved wider coverage. Not everyone reads the SD forum--to their loss, I might add:)

You've got these young kids (on the current national team) who come up and bitch about their per diem or something," Foudy was saying yesterday after practice at the pristine ARCO Training Center in Chula Vista. "We just stop them and say, 'Wait a minute.' We sound like parents lecturing them: 'Listen, when I was your age ... ' "
Whats a per diem???

Since I try to avoid starting new threads, I'll ask here: Is Lori Henry, a defender on the first US Women's national team and the 1991 WWC champion team, an heir to the Weyerhauser company fortune?
Lori Henry was formerly coached by Booth Gardner, who was Washington governor, commissioner of the stillborn NSA league, and owner of 2 pro soccer teams. His stepfather, Norton Clapp, was once president and chairman of Weyerhauser, and when Clapp died in 1995 was worth an estimated $450 million. The obituary mentioned 4 blood children and 4 stepchildren, including Gardner and 2 people with the surname of Henry. The guv originally got into coaching because his daughter played, so couldn't the clan have sent a young girl named Lori to him?
If Lori Henry is indeed related to the timber magnate, how much is she worth? Has she returned to the Seattle area? Last I heard, she left coaching at Ohio State to pursue a master's degree in education.
(Incidentally, I'm inquiring because I'm investigating possible investors for a Seattle MLS franchise.)
