Photoshop: Restore a Damaged Photo

Select one of the attached damaged photos to repair and restore [or use your own].  Remember to save the original to include in your portfolio as a "before and after".

This example comes from a press release from Utah (http://www.prweb.com/releases/2004/08/prweb149074.htm) in which they declare October 11th to be "Historical Photo Restoration Day".

    Hello Robert, I have a question about your textures here and don't see a way to contact you, hopefully you will get this comment. I was curious about the grey backdrop about halfway up the post, if it is something I can download and use? I'd like to recolor it for use, but wanted to see if I'm allowed to even use it first. Thank you for any help!
