Len,
You shouldn't panic, this is a relatively easy correction.  If using PS then
open an adjustment layer:levels.  Use the white point eye dropper on
something that should be white in the image; you can use the pointer to find
something near 255,255,255.  Then find something that should be black and do
the same with the black point eyedropper.  Most of the time the color gets
really close at this point.

This is your original:

and this is what happens after I did the above:

Possibly a little bit blue but pretty close to reality as seen by thirty
year old print film.  In actuality I would add another adjustment layer for
color and tweak in a little bit of yellow back.
