Mystery Solved

Lehigh is so special to my family because we moved here back in 1976, when my dad was relocated by Bethlehem Steel. We were all very lost when we had to move from the home we loved.

A coworker of my dad’s at Bethlehem Steel suggested he go to Lehigh games, and that was the beginning of a very special tradition in our family. My dad passed away two years ago, and he had a lot of Lehigh football memorabilia. I always wondered where he had gotten a football bobblehead. The mystery was solved when I opened the alumni magazine and there was the story about the bobblehead.
