The Park School Class of 1984 Twenty-Fifth Reunion Biographies
Natascha Geilich Armleder
I went to Nobles, then UVM, and upon graduation, I moved to Geneva, Switzerland (my mother is Swiss and I have a passport). All of those years of suffering under Monsieur Planchon finally paid off and I actually do speak French! After working in finance for a long time, I moved to Sotheby’s auction house where I enjoyed a saner pace of life working with collectors and dealers from all over the world. Currently, I am doing my master’s in counseling psychology. In 2003, I married Sébastien Armleder, who is from Geneva, (Laura Church Wilmerding actually made it over to the wedding despite her son’s first day of school!) and had my son, Tassilo, in 2004 and my daughter, Cosima, in 2006. We try to get to the States as often as possible (thus a recent Easter trip to Miami/Palm Beach) but sadly I don’t think I will make it back for the Reunion as I will just have returned from Florida on April 15. I have enjoyed chatting with some of you on Facebook and hope, if I do not make it, that someone will send me photos of the Reunion! I am in the Boston area every summer and would love to catch up.

Can it really be 25 years?! I can’t believe I am old enough to have a 25th Reunion from anything. I am currently living near Frankfurt, Germany with my husband, Jon, and three children, Thomas (13), Sophie (9), and Noah (7). The three children and I all go to the International School of Frankfurt; they are students and I teach 3rd to 5th grade English. We have lived overseas for a few years now both here in Germany and in Shanghai, China. We love the traveling it allows us to do and hopefully our children will become “Global Citizens.” I received my master’s degree in teaching from Lesley University in 1999 after completing three years with the Teach for America teaching corps in rural Louisiana. Unfortunately, I will be

Hello to everyone from Chicago! 25 is just too many years to write (or think) about so I’ll keep it to the most important recent ones! My wife, Paula, and I are living in Chicago with our nineyear-old son, Cameron, and our seven-year-old daughter, Madeline. After graduating from Lehigh in 1991, I went to George Washington Law School and worked as a lawyer long enough to realize it wasn’t for me. In 1996, shortly after Paula and I married, I dragged her out to Chicago so I could go to Northwestern University for my MBA. Although I promised her that

we could come back to the East Coast, Chicago ended up being a perfect fit for us and we have been here ever since. After business school, I worked as an investment banker for 7 years and then set out on my own with my own small investment company, Heracles Holdings. I guess Greek mythology stuck with me after all these years. Our kids go to Francis Parker School in Chicago. It really reminds me of Park, and as I wander the halls at drop-off I reminisce about our years together in Brookline.

At the time of our twenty-fifth reunion, I am living with my husband, Frank, outside of Washington, DC. We both work at the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery. (We didn’t meet there,
