The I/N Scene Players are traveling long distances to play in the Intermediate/Newcomer games at the Providence NABC. In Monday afternoon’s 299er game, Irma Lopez and Norma Fajardo (left) came from Montreal QC. Sandra Mulcahy and Doris Beaton (right) traveled a bit farther. Mulcahy is from Brisbane, Australia, and Beaton is from Oklahoma City OK.

Oops Yesterday’s shot of brothers Daniel Neiman and David Neiman said the duo was playing in the Saturday 299er game. In actuality, they are both Life Masters who were playing in the Daylight Open Pairs … which is played in the same room as the 299er game. Page 4 Tuesday, December 2, 2014 Daily Bulletin
