Remove pattern from scanned in picture

My father-in-law's brother was killed in Vietnam and recently he came across a picture of him that another soldier had. He likes the picture but he wanted to get a larger close up of mainly his brother. I have gotten this far and so far he likes the results ... you can see the pic here:

I'm wondering if I can also remove the texture of the paper that it was printed on as well ... which might just help the clarity of the image. Please let me know if you have any suggestions on ways to do this ... Thanks in advance!

Thanks to everyone for their comments ... I'll need to get a hold of the picture again so I can scan it at a higher resolution and try some of these techniques.

wkwebsite, can you explain the steps that you did to achieve your results so I can try those as well on my own?

In my past experience while scanning images from magazines, the 'de-screen' option in the scanner software made a considerable difference in eliminating patterns.
This probably is the same as "moire removal" mentioned in previous posts.

Good Luck.
