I've been sending too many obituaries. This time it's a celebration. At an age where most of us are retired, our classmate, Paul Page, just was inducted into the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame on May 27.Paul broadcasted the famous Indianapolis 500 race on radio and then on television for decades.
Here are a few links about Paul:

Paul: Congratulations on your election to the Indy 500 hall of fame. It’s one thing to be doing something you love, but to be so good at it and be recognized for your accomplishments is great. Eric Padderud
Paul, congratulations on a monumental achievement. I enjoyed watching your excellent work on the TV coverage on many motorsports events but now your work, particularly with Indy cars, will be forever enshrined in the Hall of Fame. Enjoy your justly deserved accolades.
Thanks for sharing! I remember his groundbreaking address in speech class - astounding the class with a report of driving an Indi car on the track. Very convincing - good to hear that the dream meant something long lasting to him with a payoff.
I’m honored so many if my classmates responded to Larry’s post. I’m proud my autobiography “Hello I’m Paul Page. It’s Race Day in Indianapolis.” is in the HPHS library, sold out at Amazon, but available at BN.com. Bob Unger’s reminder of the skits we made up at parties and Kerry Green’s comments of the good times made me smile as did everyone’s post. If you would like, much of my work is on YouTube. A big deal reunion is coming up. See you all there.
