The legendary Lyle Laeger caught me one day at my wife Ann Heriza Bryan's coffee house in Baker City, Mad Matilda's, and asked if I would be interested in buying the home downtown where he had had his office for several years. The home held a special place for Ann, having been built originally by her grandparents, F.C. and Mattie Vaughan, as an in town retirement home and office. The timing, as real estate goes, was just a little off given that we had just purchased a home. But, in one of those purely innocent moments and half kidding, I mentioned that he might want to sell me the real estate company. Within moments we had a deal! And, thus, was born a new era for Baker City Realty. While there have been any number of changes in the firm's operations and brokers, the same quality of service established by Lyle and his colleagues over the now 49 year history of Baker City Realty continues!
