some colour & a touch up would be most appreciated!
« on: Friday 29 June 12 23:44 BST (UK) »
This is a picture of my mother, Marvina Brown (right) and her girlfriend Dorothy Jennings, both age 16 in 1948 in Toronto Canada.
Several years after my parents divorced, my Dad was reacquainted with “Auntie” Dot and they were married in 1967.
So this is, in fact, a picture of my mother & my stepmother!
My mother died 29 years ago at the very young age of 51, but this July my stepmother will celebrate her 80th birthday.
I would love to present her with an enlarged and coloured copy of this picture, if I can prevail upon your generosity once more.
If possible, if the tower arising out of Auntie Dot’s head could be eliminated that would be fantastic. I have no idea about any colours of their clothing so whatever you choose will be fine.
Thank you so much again!!
Chris

GUIDE FOR PHOTO RESTORATIONS PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR SCANNER BED IS CLEAN AND SCAN AT A RESOLUTION OF 300-600 WITH THE SCALE AT 100% MINIMUM.

If you would like a coloured version, details such as hair colour , eyes and clothing etc.  if known  would be helpful to restorers

Regards Roy

Well, I've just been away from the computer for a couple of days and am back to see all these fantastic contributions by the generous people here at Rootschat!
Thank you so much to Mike & Japeflakes & Roy & MJB & Peterjohn & Greensleeves..............each one is so nice I will have to make more than one copy for my stepmother and for myself also! I have lots of pictures of my Mom as a youngster & teenager in black & white, so it's quite special for me to have something with some more "life" to it!
Thanks again so much All, I really appreciate this forum and your generosity and time.
Best,
Chris
