Hotel employees make amazing anniversary find

It would've been two years ago Saturday that a woman lost her wedding ring at a Portland hotel -- and on the eve of that terrible anniversary hotel staffers made an unlikely discovery.

At the Silver Cloud Inn in Northwest Portland, workers were renovating room 222 replacing the toilet when a ring fell out of the trap.

Hotel staff went straight to the log book and found hand-written notes about a customer's lost ring two years ago.

They called the woman's husband who retrieved the ring with much relief on Friday.

It dates back to 1941, one of the few keepsakes remaining from his long-lost parents.

”It really has a lot of sentimental and it was really wonderful for the silver cloud to call me and return the ring,” ken, the Brush Prairie resident said.

He didn't want to give his last name.

Ken surprised his wife who apparently was just devastated over losing the ring two years ago.

Employees were so thrilled to have found the ring they had it professionally cleaned before the owner came to retrieve it.
