Class of 2005 Lenny
Reibstein Years Played: 2001-2005 Positions Played: Lock A wise man said of the
2004-2005 Bard rugby team: ÒIf Jacob Grana is the body and Brian Wolf the
brain, then Lenny Reibstein is the heart of the team.Ó If not for Lenny,
someone far less gifted in the composition of Jesus canÕt play rugby one-liners would have led the team in song to
disastrous results. In addition to featuring as a second-row rugby player
over his four year career, Lenny refined a craft of inventing song bits that
doubled as social and political commentary. His inventions referenced contemporary
figures including Osama Bin Laden and events such as the release of Mel
GibsonÕs The Passion of the Christ. All will remember LennyÕs good
nature, and those who are luckiest will remember his senior art show, which
featured among other similar themed paintings a rugby-inspired ÒorgyÓ scene.
