Housekeeper teaches Trail Blazers about class

THE OREGONIAN’S John Canzano reports about a housekeeper who recently found a “$100 bill on the carpet of the Trail Blazers locker room, not far from Travis Outlaw’s locker.â€

Sara Farfan, 48, is a wife, mother of four and grandmother of five. She works part-time at the Rose Garden Arena and is an immigrant from Mexico who is medically uninsured and without transportation of her own.

Instead of keeping the cash, Farfan and her husband returned it to the team in an envelope.

This type of behavior apparently is typical for Farfan, who also has found other items through the years, including a Rolex. Outlaw thanked her with a $20 tip. (hey, it’s better than nothing, right?).

Said Canzano: “The Blazers are showing signs of youthful promise, but they have nothing on the arthritic woman who cleans up after them. Maybe it’s Sara, who arrives early to vacuum and collect the trash of millionaire athletes, who has the real life lesson to teach us.â€
