Don't be surprised by grain. Film grain was a reality, especially with any film of 100ISO or more. And if you scan at 600PPI, and then see it "dot for dot" on your display(*) (which is probably around 150PPI) everything is 4X bigger, so the small grains are visible splotches.
So, don't expect a silver bullet. You have to apply Curves carefully to maximize contrast but not falling where this increases the contrast in the noise, and then definitely need a second step to reduce the grain

I didn't save the negative scan. I'll rescan it in the morning and send it to you.
Did the procedure I mentions above seem like a correct one or is there a better way?
Thanks.
