Denny and Mary Beth Pogue live on their family farm that is equidistant from Rolla, Salem, and St. James, Mo. Their home is Mary Beth’s grandparents’ house that was originally built in 1918. “I work in Rolla, Denny works in Salem and we have a St. James address and phone,” Mary Beth laughed when explaining their situation. Their son, Orin, a Drury University student, and daughter Adrian, a senior at Rolla, are the seventh generation to live on their land.
