Virginia Wadell Elledge Goodall. Photo restored from deteriorated paper. Photograph taken circa 1925. Restoration by Howard J King

This is something I worked on back in 1997. At least that is what the file date is on the old Iomega zipdisk I found in storage. This picture was taken of my great grandmother in the 1920’s and had suffered in a stack of boxes in a garage for some time. I was using Photoshop 3.0 at the time and it was a time consuming and difficult process to restore to a printable form. I was glad to get a copy of it to my grandfather a few years before he died.

The sad part is, I never met her and never learned her name.
