The veteran broadcaster, who has hosted the WCCO Radio morning show for nearly 30 years, signed off Friday following a string of tributes from mystery guests.
Family members, Gov. Tim Walz and former Gov. Tim Pawlenty were among those singing their praises during Lee s last show. You are the voice so many of us wake up to every single morning, said Rep.

Don t underestimate the impact you ve had on so many of us for so many years.
