On June 28, 1970, the Drews married at the Talley home in Bogalusa in Washington Parish in southeastern Louisiana. At LSU Law School, Drew met Jean Talley, who graduated from Bogalusa High School in 1963. Not only is Jean also a lawyer, but so were her father, grandfather, and an aunt. Her father, Bascom D. Talley, Jr. (1915–1971), was from 1963 to 1964 the president of the Louisiana Bar Association.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.lsba.org/BarGovernance/PastPresidents.aspx|title=Past Presidents of the Louisiana Bar Association|publisher=lsba.org|accessdate=October 13, 2014}}</ref>
