All,
Historically, HAFB residents have been included as part of our community as 
best we can.
We administer their schools, and, before 9/11, our kids met on playing fields 
both on the Lincoln campus and on Base.
HAFB parents were invited to our events, and HAFB residents were invited to ALL 
town/community events.
And, in turn, we attended events on Base.
HAFB personnel were often the guest speakers at our Memorial Day events.

9/11 security measures made the easy movement between these 2 communities 
rather difficult.
Most travel between locations was limited to official business.
As the Select representative to the Base, and the representative from HATS to 
the BRAC/Build the Base campaign, I had clearance and spent a lot of time on 
Base.
Even with my position, it was difficult and Security often had me waiting at 
the Sartain (Vandenberg) gate to receive additional clearance to enter.

While informal social movement was curtailed in one direction, Base residents 
have continued to come to Lincoln programs and events.
However,  the security reality of the 21st century creates barriers to a more 
open and organic relationship.
