images and artifacts from Almaden Air Force Station and gives many slide
show presentations to interpret the history and memories of this Bay Area
Cold War relic. His relationship with the veterans and dependents who
lived and served on the site has earned him their respect, trust, and
status as their official historian and archivist. Basim also serves as a
board director on the Umunhum Conservancy, a non-profit organization with
a mission to save and preserve the historic radar tower atop Mt. Umunhum
