Gloria had a profound effect on me in many ways. She encouraged me to join the Big Easy Theatre Committee and, some years back, also encouraged me to also join the Opera and Classical Committee. With Gloria at the helm, the Big Easy Entertainment Awards became the gold standard in local awards shows. Her work with the Living History group was yet another of her pet projects in which local actors portrayed historical figures. She was a tireless promoter of New Orleans music and the culture of our city, I am especially sad for her three girls and for her grandchildren. Gambit and New Orleans have lost a true local star.
