Political allies, Native American leaders and people touched by Bill Richardson's work to free Americans imprisoned abroad gathering Friday for a funeral Mass to honor a man known for his innate political skills, soaring ambition and ability to both clash and reconcile with rivals.
Former U.S. President Bill Clinton will be among those paying homage to Richardson during a Mass at Santa Fe’s downtown Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi. Richardson served as U.N. ambassador and energy secretary under the Clinton administration.
