                    RUTH BROWN 



 Whenever we see a rainbow there is a spirit that comes over us providing a sense of joy and hope.  At that moment, only the beauty of the rainbow is viewed, not the forbidding clouds that surround. This is the same spirit that comes to people when they are near Ruth Brown, Trainer in the CSM Fitness Center.  Ruth is truly filled with kindness and compassion toward everyone and her spirit is contagious, as no one leaves her presence that is not inspirited to shine their own wonderful palate across life’s sky.  Ruth’s very presence fills our world with light, encouragement and, ultimately, hope.
