Tom Adams: Excelled in football and advertising

An obituary on civic leader and advertising executive Tom Adams notes that he was a Wayne State graduate and former member of the university's Board of Governors. Mr. Adams, 85, starred in football at Wayne State, where he majored in psychology, and was later drafted by the Chicago Cardinals pro football team but joined the Navy instead in 1941. Memorial contributions may be made to the Wayne State University athletic department or to a favorite animal charity.
