Thanks for the replies and the tips! The original image is full size, taken with an HP4600 scanner. I did reduce the size to get it to upload; had no idea I could compress it in Gimp and upload that, so I've learned something. I've taken a copy of the image and have been experimenting with it just to get some working familiarity with Gimp, something more than playing with the menus and hoping to find a solution. I tried the color picker to grab a color, then select by color and tried to fill, but that didn't work. So I have been fiddling with color picker, then a variety of pencils to manually fill the areas, Not perfect and a lot of work, but so far it shows promise. I'll try the font idea; a couple of the letters are really toast, but some (the 'V", for example), I've used the line tool to reconstruct the boundaries, then filling.
