Mountain Folk Tales: Roger and Lori Drienka (New Year's Eve Special!)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Roger and Lori Drienka have lived together in the Colorado mountain community for nearly 50 years, with Lori’s connections to the state reaching back generations. In 1936, her grandfather built a teepee near his family’s property in the town of Pinecliffe.
Lori was born in Denver, where she lived until around the age of ten. She moved to Southern California, where she met Roger in a high school construction class. As the only girl in the class, other guys would often make themselves known to her.
At one point, annoyed with a guy in her group “subtly” vying for her attention, she asked the teacher for a different class project foreman. The professor reassigned her with a new foreman: Roger. The rest, as they say, is history.
Our theme song is courtesy of singer-songwriter Brittney Wagner. Stream her record Better off Dead here.
