John Wooden on his 98th birthday!
John Wooden is celebrating his 98th birthday today. He had dinner with 37 members of his family on Saturday. Other than that, the personable Wooden doesn't like to make a fuss of these things.
``It's just another year,'' Wooden said in an interview last week. ``Nothing special. We're having dinner with all the family. We eat an awful lot.''
Wooden and his family dined at a local restaurant, where Wooden said the owners will do something special for his 100th birthday.
Wooden was born on Oct. 14, 1910.
Happy Birthday, Coach Wooden!
