I remember Richard Giddings as a very quite student and nice. I think a good friend of his back then was John Puro.

Another guy that not lots of people knew as he attended St. Monica until transfering to TJ as a sophmore.  We were neighbors.  He was probably the first "hippie" at TJ.  Remember after graduation night, we stayed up into daylight talking about our first girlfriends, and then had breakfast at Denny's (could have been Sambo's) on Northwest Highway and Marsh Lane.  Remember we looked at each other and said, "What are we going to do now with our lives."  I went off to college and Richard sadly died within 12 months of graduation from a brain tumor.  He was the first friend that I had that passed away.
