Craft, 57, is undergoing surgery to remove what doctors believe is a benign brain tumor. The first-term mayor and Gulf Shores businessman said in December that he had been having problems with his balance and underwent tests and exploratory surgery at the University of Alabama-Birmingham Medical Center over the holidays."
