Here's my first scan. I've still a lot to learn so please be kind to me 
This was made on Fuji Provia 100 from 1997 (never stored in the fridge) with a 1956 Super Wester S-2 camera, scanned with the Epson V500, using Vuescan as scan software.
I see that the picture too wide for this category; will correct this later.

Thanks again! Here's another one with the Wester. Interesting bokeh because it's a triplet.

Thanks and yes, the cast is visible on the slides. The film was simply too old (1997).

Peter, I got exactly the same magenta cast with a still-current roll of Provia 100F. I wouldn't necessarily put it down to ageing, although you can't be unhappy with these results from a 12y.o. film! 
I don't think it's necessary to buy extra software for correcting colour casts. I use the white and grey colour droppers in Curves in CS3. Here's what I did with your first pic, excuse the liberty:

They look good, nice captures. As previous posts pointed out there is just a color cast that needs to be corrected. If you don't mind I'll post my version too.
Cheers.

Peter, those colour cast are normally repairable by some SW.
I use PSE (cheaper version of CS2/3), which is good enough for me.
If you do not have one, I recommend to get one around US$100 for Mac.
Of course CS2/3 can do more, but you do not need such a monster. 
Actually the first photo looks okay to me even it has magenta cast.
Sorry for an unfocused post.

The V500 shows it's true abilities here! WOW! CLEAN scan Peter.
The magenta cast is no big deal, I get it too from many of the films including Provia, K64, Velvia. Easy to correct.
The scanned colors are overall rich and beautiful. And the images themselves show beautiful composition and
exposure. I'm impressed with the old camera and lens.

Agree with Koji, I use PSE and Bibble for my film files. Most all the time
just hitting with curves corrects, but there's an auto color correction that
finishes it off, if need be.
You've got to be happy with these results, Peter! |

I scanned the picture of my son again; this time I placed the film directly on the glass. The result is considerably less soft now. Still trying to correct the color though

Yes, but the film holders keep the film a mm or so above the glass, causing the image to be less sharp. So I put the film BELOW the film holders, and it looks better! However, dust is becoming a problem
Here's another try, again with the Wester. A bit of camera shake and dust...

I also put the film under the holders, as it is most sharp for me as well. Too bad that Epson could not have better quality control for the focusing range of the scanner.

The famous Epson focus issue rears its head again. Both mine have needed some correction, simply a thickness of tape under the feet of the holder. I've seriously thought about a holder from betterscanning.com, but have held off on that since I'm planning to acquire another Epson for LF.
