The key to a long life, shared by George Lober with his 20-year-old great-grandson, is drinking in moderation and limiting one's number of "wild girlie parties."

That doesn't mean that there's anything stodgy about the Ahwatukee Foothills winter resident who celebrated his 99th birthday at Hooters Restaurant last week.

It was his seventh consecutive birthday at the restaurant on Chandler Boulevard, surrounded by women in low-cut tank tops and short shorts.

"They all know me," said a sharp and jovial Lober, pointing to a big foil balloon signed to "Poppy," his nickname, signed by each of the Hooters waitresses.
