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

unable to attend the Reunion in person but look
forward to reading about what my classmates
have been up to.
Tim Friedman
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,
