Having lost his grandfather and father to heart attacks, Clayton Skurdahl said he almost felt doomed.
But at the age of 26, he happened to view a program on the value of physical exercise and eating right for a healthy heart.
âI watched that program and I decided the best thing I could do was to start running,â he said. âI could get the most exercise in the shortest period of time, and all I had to do was put on a pair of tennis shoes and go out the door.â
Now 77, Skurdahl has maintained an active lifestyle for more than five decades. A retired pastor, he lives in Nye Square with his wife Diana.
