Long-lost photo of Dean Smith, Bill Guthridge finally makes it to family

Posted Sep 17, 2015
On the lawn of the Carolina Inn, the newlyweds asked legendary UNC basketball coaches Dean Smith and Bill Guthridge to stop for a picture. "They took the time to not only take a picture but pose and make sure we got a couple of good takes," said Joey Powell. "It was a great day, and that was our first photo as a married couple. I thought that was the end of it," he said. (ABC 11)
