November 12, 2008: Listen To "You Are The Guest Show # 99" There are many unanswered questions about Governor Bill Richardson's relationship with famed artist RC Gorman. In October of 1997, the FBI began collecting information regarding numerous suspected sexual relationships RC Gorman had with children that spanned over 20 years. Did Bill Richardson know about RC Gorman's alleged illegal activities that involved transporting children across state and international boundaries for illegal sexual activities? If he did know, why didn't Governor Bill Richardson do something about it? Award winning journalist Vern Beachy, who conducted his own investigative news reports tells what he learned about RC Gorman back in 1999 and shares brand new information including the depth of Gorman's association with New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson and several catholic priests.
