American football player, assistant attorney general and member of the state supreme justice system in Minnesota. Page was Minnesota's first black Supreme Court Justice. He was elected to his six-year term in November 1992. As a football player, he became an All-American Defensive End at Notre Dame. He was a nine time All-Pro defensive tackle for the Minnesota Vikings. In 1988, Page was inducted to the Football Hall of Fame.

Page idolized fictional lawyer TV's Perry Mason and real-life judge, Thurgood Marshall. As a kid in Canton, Ohio, his parents encouraged him to strive for excellence in his education first and in sports second. He played football in high school and went on to play for Notre Dame University. He joined the Minnesota Vikings in 1967 and converted to the position of Defensive Tackle to reach stardom.
