Eric's Heroes: Meet 87-year-old likeable Lee, ex-executive turned beloved front door greet

At the Costco Store in Covington, right there between Auburn and Maple Valley, a star has been born.

Actually, he was born 87 years ago, but only recently, after retiring as an exec for Keebler Cookies, has his celebrity grown by leaps and bounds.

Lee Warders is the guy at the front of Costco who checks your receipt and thanks you for shopping.

But he's more than that. Something wonderful has been happening at the front of that store: the making of a local legend.
