Finding an image

There's a [beautiful photo] in one of the cited sources I've just added to the article, and I wish it could be featured on Jody's page... I've tried researching Wikimedia Commons guidelines on this, but I'm not sure how to find an image that's appropriate for use... Can someone else sweep in here and help out?

Married name not "Rosazza"

Recent additions to the article state that Alderson's married name is "Joan Alderson-Rosazza," in apparent reliance on an Australian book, Sports Around the World: History, Culture, and Practice, by John Nauright.^[1] This is factually incorrect. Alderson's married name was Joan Braskamp, following a socially high-profile and well-reported 1954 marriage to air force officer Bernard Braskamp, the son of the chaplain of the U.S. House of Representatives. Naughright's book evidently conflates the names of two different American swimmers, Jody Alderson, who won a bronze medal in the women's 4x100-meter freestyle relay at the 1952 Olympics, and Joan Rosazza, who won a silver medal in the same event at the 1956 Olympics. Alderson and Rosazza are two completely different women, with different birth dates, birthplaces and educational histories. I'm not sure where the confusion began, but this is not the first time these Wikipedia articles have muddled the two women and their names. For the record, I can find no sources that Jody Alderson ever married anyone named "Rosazza," and there are numerous sources for the Alderson-Braskamp marriage.
