BRYAN EATON/Staff photo. Salisbury resident Robert "Boots" Chouinard was at the Newburyport Farmers Market earlier this fall and noticed a man named George Mouradian of Worcester wearing a World War II veterans cap who he started a conversation with and found out they were in the same anti-aircraft artillery battalion during the war. Chouinard told him when he visited the area again they would go to breakfast with some other World War II veterans he stays in contact with. Meeting at Nancy's Marshview Cafe on Monday, from left, Jere Doyle, Newburyport; Mouradian; Norman Bellabance, Amesbury; Arthur Bibeau, Merrimac; Chouinard and Blake Hughes, Newburyport.
