After 122 years of steelmaking and the employment of up to 165,000 people in 1957, the once-mighty No. 2 U.S. Steelmaker, Bethlehem Steel, made its last cast in Bethlehem on November 18, 1995. Whether through work, family or friends, by its bounty or its decline, everyone in the Lehigh Valley was touched by โ€œThe Steelโ€.
