Stuart W Page, 1943-1968
We heard the tragic news of Page’s death in a mining accident, as we were due to go to press; it has therefore been difficult to write a full obituary. At Falcon, Page was Head of Founders and his enthusiasm, sense of fair play and integrity will long be remembered by those who were at Falcon with him.
He loved rugger, played for the 1st XV and was one of the most deadly tacklers that the College has produced. No one who was there will forget the match against Hilton in Natal when Falcon was thrashed by some 40 points: Page never gave up and was tireless in his attempts to stop the brilliant running of the opposition.
He graduated in Mining Engineering at Wits, in 1967 and was married in April of 1968. To his family, and particularly to his wife, we extend our very deepest sympathies.
