Frank "Lud" J. Hlavac

Frank Hlavac was one of the very few really "good" teachers I ever had, anywhere. I personally owe my life success and career to Frank. He was a great teacher, and a great human being. Thank you, Frank. -MGHS class of '78 alum.

To the Hlavac Family, You don't know me but Lud and my father, Dick Brachman, Sr. were buddies from Platteville days. In my Dad's absence I felt I should tell you that I recall Dad mentioning Lud with great fondness. With Deepest Sympathies from th Brachman Family, Dick Brachman, II

Frank Hlavac was an excellent coach,teacher and friend.I enjoyed working on the farm and putting up tents with him.Thanks for the memories . Doug Horstmeier . MGHS class of 1978 alum.

Learning of Coach Hlavac's passing stirred a flood of very happy memories. This is keyed primarily by my friendship with a few of his UW-P peers & coaching colleagues, as well as from the respect he had from his fellow Badger Conference coaches, including my late father. I will forever admire his coaching success with his 1970 Silver Eagles hoopsters, in my senior season, en route to the State Tourney. RIP, Coach, "ya done good".

I was fortunate to have some incredible teachers and coaches while attending MGHS (class of 1978). Coach Hlavac was one of them. He made the classroom fun and game time even more fun. I remember one of the sayings from coach Hlavac.... "You get what you deserve". He did it right and most certainly got what he deserved. .....one helluva life experience for him and those fortunate enough to be there too. I'm still working on that bounce the quarter off your boot heel and into your pocket trick that he tried to teach us. Thanks for the memories.
