Dayton is a big proponent of cross country skiing for its physical, emotional and spiritual benefits. In the ’80s, he got to meet ski legend Herman “Jack Rabbit” Smith-Johannsen when he was 109 years old.  Johannsen, a Norwegian immigrant widely credited with introducing cross country skiing to the U.S. and Canada, was featured in Sports Illustrated when he was 104.  He had been a skier for 102 years at the time.  He lived until he was 111.  For the last 22 days of his life he was the world’s oldest man.  He credited his longevity to cross country skiing.  “He said, ‘I was always wondering what was over the next hill and the next bend in the river,’ ” Dayton said. “It kept him going.”
