the end of the racial divide in high school sports in the New Orleans area. This event inspired the made-for-television movie Passing Glory. Jesuit High School (New Orleans) offers a Lloyd (Hap) Glaudi Scholarship. Glaudi was the first sportscaster to be named to the New Orleans Prep Sports Hall of Fame. Personal life Glaudi appeared in a December 19, 1964, episode of CBS-TV's hit show Gunsmoke, "Aunt Thede," in a bit part as a Townsman. A common practice at the time was for the major networks to select individuals that they perceived as local celebrities to take bit parts in the parent network's popular television shows both to promote their show and their affiliates. Glaudi lived in New Orleans all of his life, with his wife Millie and three daughters, who maintain close ties to the Greater New Orleans area, until his death of lung cancer at age 77, on December 29, 1989.
