1. If you are on Photoshop, run autolevels then fade back a bit. This clears away the flatness of the picture and corrects the fading that occurred over the years.
2. Use selective color under adjustments for red, yellow, and magenta, pushing the sliders till you get a warmer look to the face, which now has an unnatural magenta cast.
3. Use a soft fuzzy brush set to "color" mode at low opacity to brush correct colors into areas missed by selective color, such as his left hand, hair, and face edges. This picture doesn't require much of this, so you could omit this step if in a hurry. But keep it in mind for future projects.
4. Don't know if you cropped before or after working on it, but if it was after, go back and crop it less. Frame openings aren't exactly 5 by 7 etc. but smaller all around, so part of the toe will be hidden under the frame and the bottom is also too close to the edge. Of course they could always use one of those clear plastic frames with no borders.
I did steps 1-3 above and here is the result I got.
