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.
