Honoring an Ivy Legend

Leo Reherman was a great offensive lineman at Cornell in the 1980s, where he sometimes lined up against Columbia great Matt Sodl '88. 

A few years later, Sodl and Reherman became great friends at UCLA Business School. 

Before going into business as expected, Reherman became famous on American Gladiators. 

Reherman suddenly passed away last week and the news has hit Matt hard. But he is determined to honor his friend and Matt has sent the following info to all the readers here:

It is with a very heavy heart I wanted to announce that Leo Reherman (UCLA Anderson Class of 1993) passed away last Tuesday.  We will be having a memorial service to celebrate his life on the beach in Manhattan Beach this Saturday (March 5th) at 10 am.  All who knew him are welcome and encouraged to share in this celebration of this life.  The details of the service are below:

LEE 'HAWK' REHERMAN'S CELEBRATION OF LIFE CEREMONY
