For a couple of years Dierkop and I have been corresponding, with his letters coming from his North Hollywood, Calif, home, telling us, because he had been asked to keep homefolks posted, of his activities. Dierkop was born in La Crosse, attended Holy Trinity and Aquinas before he enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1953. He lived with an aunt and uncle, the William Perviskys at 1550 Denton St. For two years he took what Korea had to offer, then returned stateside, not to La Crosse but to Jersey City, N.J., where his mother, Mrs. Emily Chapin, then was living.

(She now lives in Denver, Colo.) Dierkop held a variety of jobs (not positions, jobs before he enrolled in the American Foundation of Dramatic Arts for a two-year course which was to change his pattern. ii His wife-to-be, the former Joan Addis of Philadelphia (who was an alternate winner in the 1957 Miss Philadelphia Pageant) also was a student at the school. In 1958, Charles and Joan were married. They moved to' New York City where he attended the Lee Strasburg School until 1965. Dierkop appeared with George C.

Scott in pne Broadway play, had small roles in (in which Rod Steiger had the lead), and Hus whose cast included Scott, Paul Newman and Jackie Glca son. The Dierkops went to California where work was signed up with an agent Shakespearean play. Colleen Dewhurst (Mrs. Scott).
