What came first-the chicken or the ...bracelet?


A Massachussetts man has been reunited with the metal ID bracelet he lost as a child 25 years ago playing in his grandfathers barn...after poultry workers found it in the gizzard of one of the chickens they were processing at Olson Locker.The engraved name,address,and phone number were still legible on it and the workers were able to track down the mans father and have the bracelet returned to him.

Aaron Giles,the owner of the long lost bracelet,recalls losing it somewhere in the barn all those years ago and a few years ago,the barn was dismantled and used to build another barn on a farm 45 miles way,in Elmore,MA.Apparently the bracelet was somehow imbedded into the building materials because the chickens being slaughtered at Olson Locker came from-you guessed it-the farm in Elmore.Mr.Giles says he plans to hold onto it this time and keep it in the family for years to come.That will be one helluva story to tell the grandkids someday,huh?
