Punks that worked in Lehigh Valley industry

I would really like to speak with some punks that worked for Bethlehem Steel or other Lehigh Valley industries in the 1970's-1980's. If anyone reading this worked in Lehigh Valley industry or knows of someone who did, please let me know.

It seems to me that, similar to the emergence of 1977 punk in the United Kingdom, the decline of industry had a great impact on how punk developed in the Lehigh Valley. This is probably really obvious to people who lived through it, but I would really like to know more about how this manifest in the LV specifically. It would be great to include this point of view, and, of course, I would love to have a photo of the person (or people) that worked there.

In the meantime, I found this interesting photo...maybe someone out there knows this person. It is actually a tattoo of Bethlehem Steel on the back of Sarah Andrew. It is from a website called "save our steel." The blog was posted in 2004, so it is obviously outdated considering the steel was recently razed for the building of the Sands casino in south Bethlehem. Nevertheless, it is an interesting picture...
