he said, translates into an unde-

seen on sets in Ann Arbor and
across the state.
A seasoned participant and
observer of the film industry,
Albom has detected a notice-
able difference in the energy
and attitude of movie produc-
tions filmed in Michigan. He
describes them as friendly and
focused on teamwork, with little
emphasis on competition.
"I've been on sets in L.A.
where it's just another day at the

people are sort of aggravated

From Page 5
previously ambitious sound is
because the album was written
and recorded in a speedy three
months.
If the unintentional slip into
the safe zone can be mentally put
aside, it's important to know that
TV has embarked on an exten-
sive tour, headlining the day
after the album's release in Radio
City Music Hall. Also, keep your
ears perked for "All Falls Down,"
"Troubles" and stirring remixes
and instrumentals, which will be
available on the deluxe edition
of the album. Maybe these songs
will credit more smiles than their
titles allude to.

THE LIFE OF Vada Murray was
wholeheartedly devoted to sharing his
many gifts with all those who knew
him, especially those he loved and ad-
mired. He was a loving husband, a
tremendously supportive father, a de-
voted friend, and a contagiously enthu-
siastic U of M fan. Perhaps best known
as a passionate and committed police
officer, Vada dedicated his career to
the pursuit of honor and justice. Above
all, he was a kind hearted and gentle
man who was committed to doing his
best at all times. Those who had the
good fortune to have crossed his path .
remember Vada as a man of great in-
tegrity with a kind and generous soul
and a genuine interest in helping peo-
ple reach their full potential. Vada was
a defensive back for the University of
Michigan football team from 1986 to
1990 and was deeply influenced by the
coaching of Bo Schembechler. Vada
played for the Wolverines in the Rose
Bowl in 1987, 1989 and 1990, and
from there took the many lessons from
his years on the field to his life and the
career off the field. Vada is survived by
his loving wife Sarah; daughters
Kendall and Harper and son Dec; his
mother Donna and husband Wiley
Akins of Cincinnati; his father Ed Mur-
ray of Cincinnati; his sisters Yvette
Murray and Tracy Murray of Cincin-
nati; and many beloved nieces and
nephews.
A memorial service honoring Vada's
life will be held on Thursday, April 14
at 11 a.m. at Cliff Keen Arena on the U
of M campus. Burial for police and
family only will follow.
