Kurt Dietrick was a stage name for a Man named Kent Lee Schlesselmen who had a Mother with the maiden last name of Dietrick. He was listed as living in Los Alamitos California (the city where the Bruce of LA home was located) in 2014 when he passed away at age 78. He would have been about 39 years old in 1974.

I could not find anything produced by Kensington Road from 1978 or later. It also seemed like Steve Buono aka Scotty Cunningham vanished totally from physique modeling by 1978. I hope you can determine if that is correct.
