The Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company

Thank you to Kimberly Smith who shared this incredible story about her father, James Albert Call.

On February 23, 1966, James was working as a cherry picker when a co-worker that was connecting two rail cars got his leg caught between them. James rushed to action, jumped down, and took his belt off and used it as a tourniquet to stop bleeding until emergency services could get there. The man's name was H. Orange.

The mills were dangerous but honorable work. Thanks to Kim for keeping their legacy and stories of local workers and heroes alive.

Thanks to Edward C. Brainard Jr.‎ for also sharing his story! Please send your along too!

I graduated from Ursuline in 1967. As so many of the other kids from Campbell did, I went "down to the mills" to apply for a job. Well, I started working in a construction warehouse for a great guy named Bill Evans. Bill struggled with his reports so one day I told him that I took typing at Ursuline. From that day on, I typed all of his reports for him. A few months later I got hired into the Production Control Department which was upstairs above the old hospital building in between the hot strip mill and the finishing mill building. Thanks to Bill Evans and to also that typing class I took at Ursuline, I had a good paying job for the next 14 years.

Thanks to Gary Sova for sharing his story:

After graduating from Michigan Tech Univ I was hired by YS&T as a metallurgist. I worked in the Quality Control group but first I was assigned to the Engineering training department. This was a great program where new graduate engineers went to all departments for a period of two weeks each. This was perfect to get well rounded knowledge of the entire operations from start to finish. After leaving Sheet & Tube I was able to get jobs in any steel mill because of my knowledge. I have warm memories of my coworkers there and often wonder where they landed and what their stories might be after all those years.

Thanks to Christy Burke for sharing her family's Youngstown Story!

My memories of the mill are few indeed!! I was born in youngstown at St.E’s. In 1960. We soon moved to PA, but visited my grandparents, who lived st 88 Hazeltine Ave.... all of their married life.. Some of my favorite childhood memories were spent here... 88 Hazeltine was at the top of the hill.. at night... the sky looked orange, and the tall stacks were visible.

My grandfather, Harry Voina, and both of my aunts husbands worked at the mill! I believe Youngstown Sheet and Tube...my grandfather knew the neighbors.... many also worked there.. I remember them having nicknames for each other, and hollering hellos or jokes to one another from their front porches..

On visits we visited Hills, Idora Park, and Mill Creek Park. I was intrigued by the”bat” house?”

I remember my grandpa’s black metal lunchbox.... the sounds and sirens, smells, the bar at the corner of the street on one side, church in the other... life lived on this street.... then beautiful with landscaped yards... pride, faith, love of family... and the sights and sounds of the mill always.......

Thank you!
Christy Burke

I remember Black Monday... and my aunt worrying about my Uncle Bob..what he would do, what everyone would do....
