She even plays the piano there. She also plays the piano and a harp at the nursing home where her husband is living. She drives elderly neighbors to the store or takes them to lunch so they don’t feel so alone. I call her Bubbles because she is so effervescent.”

“There are people doing good things in every local community, and these acts of kindness do not go unnoticed or unappreciated,” explains Akhtar Hussain, CHS refined fuels brand marketing manager. “Congratulations to Kristine Fleming, and thank you for your contribution to the community.”
