The Two Fishermen
Two fishermen, Raymond Broderick, and Bernard Sulzer had set out on September 26, 1986, to fish. They were later reported missing by their families on the day of the balloon event. Rescuers ultimately spotted their 16-foot boat which was anchored west of the Edgewater Park break wall.
