Article and Picture of June at the Opry

Many years ago I remember seeing an article and picture of June Carter at the Opry at the time of the death of Patsy Cline, Hawkshaw Hawkins and Cowboy Copas. It was taken behind the curtain when the Opry members decided that "the show must go on" despite the deaths of the three Opry members. It was an AP wirephoto sent to newspapers around the country. June was in tears, watching the performances from the wings. Has anyone else seen, or more importantly, could they publish this picture/article? I would love to be able to save it on my computer. Do you find this valuable?

I would love to see that. It sounds familiar but have no idea where I saw it. Do you find this valuable?

Look at the "Florence Morning News March 1963" on the Articles section. The link only works in the bar on the left. Did you mean this photo? Do you find this valuable?

Sorry guys! The link now works from the articles section. If you find any more dead links in your travels please let me know! Do you find this valuable?

Yes, that is the one. Thanks for pointing me towards it ...did not even know about that article section and looks like there is some good reading there. Wish I could get a clearer picture and text ....maybe it is my computer, or because the article is old and in newsprint, but it is hard to read ... Do you find this valuable?
