Actually I was going to contact you on the exactly the same subject, Chuck.

My pictures are fading...couple are beyond repair.   When I went back to BG for 
first time since I arrived here in 1992, I met with my mother's boyfriend.  He 
was the one who took most of them, very good amateur enthusiast, but apparently 
his present girlfriend didnt appreciate him keeping pictures of the "love of 
his life" and had him get rid of them and the negatives...

Can you recommend resources that I could utilize to restore my pix?  Where did 
you learn from?  

Best

Boris

Most of the images are in excellent shape but there are a few of them 
that are just crying out to me to "restore me to my former self".  :-)
