Mike Watson, pictured here, portrayed Dr. John Nicholas Page, an early druggist in Columbia, when their biggest competition was the doctors who also provided medicines.

Dr. Page spent most of his life in Columbia, except for a few winters in his latter days when he would spend the winter with his daughter and family in Louisville.
