Gloria's Story

Life After LHS, I attended Trenton State College and graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Special Education. Since I realized that I didn't want to teach, I went on to Harvard Business School and got my MBA in 1984. I joined First Boston as an Equity Trader and spent 5 years there, including the time of the 1987 crash. In 1989 I married Carmen Scarpati, a fellow race driver who built several of my race cars. (He has managed our family racing business for more than 20 years now). I ran against all men in the Small Block Modified division for about 12 years. The highlight of my career was being the first (and only) woman to win a feature, on both dirt and asphalt, and being the only woman to compete at the Nazareth National race. I was featured on the cover of the national magazine "Stock Car Racing" in Oct. 1987 and was showcased on TV in 1988. My daughter, Morgan, was born in 1989. She is an avid equistrian and owns a horse and a pony. We have given up race cars and now spend all our time at horse shows up and down the East Coast.

e through various permutations -- Wheat First was acquired by First Union which merged with Wachovia -- as an institutional equity salesperson (stock broker) in NYC. In September 2005, I joined Lehman Brothers and work out of their Philadelphia office. Of course, now we all know that Lehman went bankrupt and as of now (Nov '08) I am waiting to see if I will have a job at Barclays, who bought my division from Lehman's bankruptcy. Well, Barclays closed our entire Philadelphia office and since then I have been bouncing around trying to find a new home....but the business has changed so much that I am now considering a career change -- maybe Investor Relations....? My daughter Morgan graduated in June 2007 from The Hun School of Princeton and from the University of Delaware in 2011, with a degree in Animal Science and Agribusiness Management. She is currently working at Banfield (a division of Mars -- as in M&Ms --weird) as a surgical vet assistant. She looks forward to moving into her own place in another part of the country. I'm looking forward to her being able to pay her own horse bills!!!!!
