Highlands' Biggest Fan Passes Away

Viola "Vi" Gerding, considered by all who knew her to be the greatest supporter and biggest fan of Highlands High School, passed away at the age of 89 this past week, in Fort Thomas. Mrs. Gerding worked in the Highlands cafeteria for 42 years and attended countless Highlands football games, student plays, basketball tournaments, musical concerts and various other school functions during the past several decades. She adored every aspect of Highlands High School and the school community, and the entire Fort Thomas community truly adored her. She will be sadly missed by those whose lives she touched. God Bless Vi Gerding, and as Vi would say, Go 'Birds!
