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.
