Judge Kevin Greer (right) administers the oath of office Wednesday for Highland County Common Pleas Court Judge Rocky Coss for what Coss said would be the his final six-year term. Coss is pictured with his wife, Gayle, who is holding her husband’s childhood Bible that was given to him on his 12th birthday by his grandparents.
