Wondering if it is possible to restore this photo to be a bit better than it currently is?!  Thanks in anticipation!

This is a very quick restore (15-20 minutes) Please note that a higher resolution scan would yeild much better results with a faded picture. A lot more of the facial detail could be brought back to life.

Thank you Wendy, Big Al and Mort09A, you have done wonders notwithstanding the original poor quality.  I appreciate your time and efforts.  Noted the comments re dpi 300-600 - can get that done at that hopefully if that okay to re-post again?

Done a further copy of photo with hopefully more dp and also tried to keep below the required kb..anyhow good practice in terms of getting to know ones way around scanning machine ...but don't expect a rush of offers as a result as I have had good examples notwithstanding the original poor quality.  Thanks.
