Lagunan Herb Nootbaar Parties Like He's 103! Because He Is!

Laguna Beach's Herb Nootbaar, who has given millions in endowments and gifts to USC and Pepperdine University, celebrated his 103rd birthday this week.

On Wednesday, the folks at (where he works out) and some of his pals threw a celebration complete with cake, bubbly and silly hats. He had larger celebrations sponsored by Pepperdine University at Montage Resort and Spa and another by USC in Los Angeles.

Happy birthday, Herb, you are an amazing man.
