the chicken appeared with us in 1979 in  AYLI
It also appeared in 1980 in CE (as did felt fruit - I remember Robin
and the Jaynes sisters sewing madly)
It has appeared in the reunion performances in 1990, 1995, 2000, and
2005 ("this dog, my dog...").
Rebekah has ensured that the camp program has had a rubber chicken
every summer since inception (including this summer) - the chicken has
an honored place in our home.
