Was thinking....in the GJR...it stated that one kid was driven to buy some weed....then the kid said he smoked it in the car with JS at the wheel. You have to wonder if the perv plied the boys with booze and weed on those overnighters (shades of MJ ‘jesus juice’)

Jerry Sandusky started The Second Mile to aid children; name was inspired by PSU players and sermon

EXCERPT

The nonprofit organization is now worth $9 million. It brought in $2.6 million in 2010.

In January, the organization received the go-ahead from the Centre County commissioners to apply for a $3 million state grant to pay for an $8.5 million learning center on 60 acres near the University Park Airport.

The proposed facility would eventually have housing for up to 100 children.

Its location won’t be far from the Brownson House, a recreation center that Sandusky’s father, Art, bought when Sandusky was 12.

The family moved into a top-floor apartment and turned the hall into a YMCA-type facility, where kids could hang out after school, “where their chances for getting into trouble were lessened considerably,” Sandusky wrote.

His father was a huge influence, he writes. And his experiences with the Brownson House, as described in his book, mirror many Second Mile services.

“The name came to me while I was talking with some of our football players in the locker room,” he wrote. “... I had just heard a sermon in church about going the extra mile ... And that’s when the name came to me.”
