Subject: I was in 10th grade. My mom woke me up that morning and told me.

I didn't believe it until I saw it on the news.

A bunch of my junior high and HS friends all got together for a reunion
and Lenny's name came up. We all remembered how Lefty said he
loved Leonard (always called him Leonard, it seemed, never Lenny) and
he'd see him in heaven someday. We all remembered how, just a few
short days before his death, we were pranking people by palming their
head and snapping it back to mimic Lenny snatching a rebound. We'd
do that and try to catch a friend by surprise and
yell "LENNYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" as loud as we could.

And, on the playground, you could pretend to be Keith Gatlin, but
nobody could really replicate Bias.....
