LEXINGTON, Ky. — Eight-year-old Antonio McKinney wanted to eat at Red Lobster.
That was fine with Courtney Love, a senior linebacker at the University of Kentucky, but positive reports had to come in first. Antonio's mom, Autumn Floyd, and his teachers let Love know the third-grader had a good week.
"So we went to Red Lobster," Love said.
Since May, Love has spent a Sunday or Thursday with Antonio each week, an arrangement established by Amachi Central Kentucky, a mentoring program that pairs adults with children who have one or both parents in state or federal prison or are affected by incarceration.
