Grandpa needs a retouch.
« on: Sunday 05 July 09 15:27 UTC (UK) »

This is my grandfather who emigrated from Ireland to the U.S.A. He worked as a Motorman with the Pittsburgh Railway Company. Would any kind person out there like to try a retouch and colour?

Since posting the picture I found this description on my grandfather's application for a U.S. passport:

- Forehead: High
- Eyes: Brown
- Nose: Medium
- Mouth: Medium
- Chin: Dimpled
- Hair: Auburn
- Complexion: Fair
- Face: Fair
