I'm sorry to hear that David. I too have lost many of the past and now
I treasure all the old photos most of which have no comments on the
subjects names and where/when they were taken. Lately I have been
scrounging around distant relatives of my parents for their old photos
with the deal being my scanning them and returning the originals along
with my others they know nothing of. My father, long dead, once
threw out three kilos of old negatives in an old shoe box to my
endless regret. Lately I've been scanning old letters from WWII,
wills, birth certificates etc and giving copies to all relatives who
will take them.

Couldn't help taking a crack at it. I cleaned up the sky and brought
in a little color in the sky. The sky shouldn't compete with the
figures, so I went for just a little color. Cloned out a number of
problems in the figures, but didn't work on the faces. Too little to
work with.

Cleaned up the yellow in the sign. Ran it through a High Pass
filter/Overlay. Removed the "annotation" because viewers don't care
what was done.

Anytime you're working with scans of old photos, the quality of the
finished job will depend on the quality of the scan. This was a poor
scan to begin with.
