A quick attempt.
POSTEES: If possible, PLEASE, scan your images at 300 - 600 dpi, for both ease of restoration and best results
RESTORERS: Feel free to change/improve/colour any restorations posted by myself.  Acknowledgment would be appreciated.

Hi fivep,
I was totally stunned when I put my first few photos up and these clever people worked their magic on them.
Doing it myself now...
