Post by: Hanfonius on Sunday 22 December 13 14:54 GMT (UK)
I would be so very grateful if one of you clever people out there could clean up this photograph of an uncle..  I am prepared to pay one litter of six assorted kittens.   ::)
Thank you.

Carol - Oh,  THANKYOU SO VERY MUCH.....
Your basket of six kittens are in the mail.
... They need bottle-feeding every two hours,  and poop quite a bit.

This man's face jumps out to me.   He was a very rough and ready character,  with both a gentle side,  and renown for thumping the bad guys.  New York between the two wars was not an easy place to live,  especially for the poor.

I am so pleased with the results of your work.
Tony.

Aw...Here Kitty Kitty...Kitty  :D :D :D :D
Glad you're happy with it Tony as it was a bit rushed as I got an unexpected call.
I'm sure you will get more  ;)
Merry Christmas.
Carol

Thank you,  Irene,  for your help.

I guess all of you guys and gals really fancied that half-dozen kittens I offered originally.
I have since been in touch with the Cat Protection League,  and they have agreed to deliver six kittens to every single person who worked on this photograph.

They will be found beneath your Christmas tree on Wednesday morning,  and Santa will leave a pint of milk for them.

Many thanks again;  Tony.  ;) ;D
