Good morning!
CHICAGO (NewsNation Now) A music student is reunited with his beloved and valuable flute after leaving it on a Chicago train.

“When she left that in her will I always brought her with me no matter where I went,” Rabin said.
Rabin was riding a Blue Line train from O’Hare International Airport on Jan. 29, during a layover before his return to the Berklee College of Music in Boston. ....
