ARGH!!!!!!! I hate my camera!

Damn damn damn!! I just got back my developed photos from AX99, and the
one thing I feared most more or less happened. I have a fairly old
(1986?) camera which has only 1 nice feature, auto-focus. No zoom or
auto-advance or auto-rewind. To rewind the film you must turn a little
crank. Normally I can tell when the film is fully rewound but for some
reason my film rolls this time were abnormally difficult to turn and I
mistakenly opened the camera before my 2nd roll of AX pics were fully
rewound. Only the first few shots on that roll were harmed, but
unfortunately this includes the one picture I most wanted from the
convention, a shot from the masquerade of me in LoGH admiral uniform
standing between Mr. Kikukawa and Mr. Ishiguro. Only the right side of
the photo is hosed, with Ishiguro seeming to be in a light yellowish
field. He is still discernible however. I am hoping fervently that
there is enough info in the pic that if I scan it maybe it can be
dorked with in Photoshop to clean it up. Anyone have any advice on
this area? (Of course even if the online version can be fixed that
still doesn't help the other thing I wanted to do which was mail
Ishiguro and Kikukawa copies of the photo with a thank-you note.;_;)
Most of my other pics on the roll are OK, mostly from the rest of the
masquerade. However I would gladly sacrifice all of these (esp since
there are so many other masquerade pix online) if I could have this one
pic be made whole. Waaah! :-(
