The Duplicate Bridge column is compiled weekly by
News Staff Reporter Dale Anderson. The print version normally appears in the
Life & Arts section in the Saturday edition of The Buffalo News.
If it’s not in its usual place, Google “Duplicate
Bridge” plus the current Saturday date, which should bring up a link to it on buffalonews.com, the
Buffalo News website.
Sometimes the online version does not materialize on the
Buffalo News website, at least not in a timely fashion. Worse yet, columns from
previous weeks currently cannot be accessed on the News website. But all is not
lost. They are available in an appendix to Dale Anderson’s bridge blog at http://newsdupli.blogspot.com/
The online version contains unabridged scores and a longer
list of notices. Deadline for submission of scores and notices is Tuesday
night.
Email danderson@buffnews.com or dahotwings@aol.com. Office
phone is (716) 849-4420.

A Ruby Life Master since the

Master (2,500 points) before Christmas. He blogs about his quest for Gold and
other bridge adventures here.
