Whether it was: in college as an All-American who became a first-round draft pick; in professional football as a six-time All-Pro and the first defensive player to ever win NFL MVP honors (in 1971); serving on the Minnesota Supreme Court for 23 years; teaching young people about the importance of education; or on his daily runs, Page has impressed and inspired.

A member of the College Football and Pro Football Halls of Fame and Vikings Ring of Honor, Page retired from the Minnesota Supreme Court in August because he turned 70, the mandatory age of retirement.
