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.
