All I know is he hasn't been to work since (last) Monday.

I'm very happy for the tennis community because it'll be a viable and economical project. I've always wanted something for our tennis teams like our softball complex, which has paid for itself probably three times over already.

In comparison to some of the private cemeteries, we're in the mid- to low-range.

It'll be nice to be able to stay here for tournaments. We usually have to go to Columbus or Montgomery because there are not enough courts or they aren't nice enough.

It's been frustrating because there is limited play right now, which is when it starts warming up and people want to play.

It's our first real big project with Auburn University and if it's successful, it could open more doors for us with the university in the future.

It's potentially a huge economic draw. We have a good track record of hosting events and this will enable us to bid for regional tournaments.

It's not just a celebration for the university, but a celebration for the townspeople.

People specifically asked the cemetery board about upright markers. They chose to set up the estate and perimeter lots so that (graves) can look good, but are easily maintained by the city.

But once it's open and services are being conducted, we ask that proper respect be given.
