Restore please, pretty please
« on: Tuesday 01 October 13 23:05 BST (UK) »
Please restore this. It's not great quality, but it's very special.  ;)

I've just discovered that one of the family photos that my husband & I scanned 3 weeks ago is:
- my grandfather who died the year before I was born
- my great grandfather who died in 1937 (I only have 1 other of him taken in 1903)
- & my great great grandfather who died in 1943

I'm doing a happy, happy dance!   ;D

I look forward to your magic.  :)

Thanks Irene.  :)

I sent the scan to my dad this morning. (He was the youngest of the children & not born at the time of this photo.) He didn't see his dad very often & all he could say was, "Wow, I didn't realize how much I look like my father." He'll think that even more now that you've refreshed it.

Thanks again.

What a great discovery RedMystic - quite a thrill I should think. Oh for the same sort of luck ::) :)
