Hi all,

sorry to post another picture so soon, but this was just sent to me....

My dad is good a repairing photos. he is not good enough for this. It has just been sent to me by my great uncle. (who can use a computer!!!!!) it is even scanned at 600dpi!

is there any hope whatso ever. My great uncle is the smallest baby.

the missing face looks sort of like the older girl  (although i excpect no miracles)

Any thing you can do would be appreciated. It is one of the few photos that he has of the siblings together.

hello

Well I was in the middle of attempting some kind of improvement... when my 88 yr old dad suggested I put a dog in the pic...

so Here you go one with Dads idea of a Dog with th e family... I will hopefully sort the other pic later.  almost there --- unless you get too many excellent ones...
