How can I show author's avatar on news article?

[christophera]

I've uploaded some fe users avatars manually.  These are users that have submitted news articles.

I would like to show their avatars with the article.

I have this in news/summary templates/mytempate

{if $entry->author}

{$author_label} {$entry->author}

{/if}

In fe users, I have an image property called 'Avatar'.

How would I call and display the author's avatar?

I'm thinking I use this somehow? {$feu_smarty->get_user_properties($uid,$assign)}  with uid being '$author', or???

Thanks for any help.  Probably going to be thrown off the forum soon for overuse today!
