I recently stopped at the Oroweat Bakery Outlet on Columbia Drive in Kennewick. The cashier was unable to break a $100 bill for my purchase, so I stuffed the bill in my pocket and pulled out the smaller bills. I left the store and stopped at Conoco for gas. After paying the cashier and pumping my gas, I left.

Once home, I realized I didn't have the $100 bill in my pocket! I ran to my car and searched -- no money! I drove back to Conoco and asked the cashier if a good Samaritan had turned it in. No. I drove back to the bread store in a panic, thinking that no one in their right mind would turn in a $100 bill.

I ran in the bread store and asked the clerk if anyone had turned in that money. Yes. She walked to the back and came out with an envelope containing the money. She had found it lying on the floor in front of the register just after I left the store.

The lady's name is Mary Powers. She is proof that there is at least one good Samaritan in Tri-Cities.

Thank you, Mary, for your honesty.
