In competition at the highest level, Seamon played for the Bermuda Bowl on the 1957 United States team, defeated by Italy. In the Bermuda Bowl series, which was then annual, it was the last head-to-head match between representatives of North America and Europe and the first of ten consecutive Bermuda Bowl wins by the Blue Team. Seamon played as the partner of Helen Sobel, Peter Leventritt, and finally Boris Koytchou. As of 1966–1967, he wrote a newspaper bridge column, "Miami News by William Seamon". A death notice in the Orlando Sentinel credits him with a syndicated bridge column.

2014-06-11, among the 92 biogs (95 pages in cat), there are seven I did not find at VIAF as identified by any cooperating authority ("No, May 2014") and seven more whom I did not find identified by LC (no LCCN). Thus the first seven do not carry footer template Authority control and the second seven have the template without the WorldCat and LCCN links. All 14 lack the convenient point of entry to LC Catalog(ue) listings LCAuth.

WorldCat does have top pages for some "authors" not identified by LC, perhaps not by any authority, but I don't know how to find them (and they may be less reliable).

 * The Complete Book of BOLS Bridge Tips, ed. Sally Brock, 168 pp. (London: Chess & Bridge Limited, 1997) ; (Toronto: Master Point Press, 1998), 168 pp.

Talk:Bobby Wolff(s)
 * DHTruscott 1 @Bridge Ace; DHTruscott 2 @Harold Schogger citing IBPA permission.


 * After reading all of DHTruscott1 and DHTruscott2 linked above, two versions of the tip by Dorothy Hayden Truscott (1976), I see that the second is from a collection by Terence Reese, who is certainly the writer of the commentary that follows the tip (" Dormer and I once proposed yet another scheme of this nature ...").
 * I suppose the print source is Bridge Tips by World Masters: Terence Reese develops and enlarges the famous Bols bridge tips (Hale, 1980; 1987) --so identified at Terence Reese bibliography.


 * The tip itself, version 1—Reese?, is presented in third person with British English spelling, without mention of the original sponsor BOLS.
 * "there has been a serious gap in signalling methods available to the defenders. Her tip, a modification of a suggestion by T.R.H.Lyons, of England, is an attempt to fill that gap."
 * "in all that time there has been a serious gap in the signaling methods available to the defenders. My BOLS tip, a modification of a suggestion by T. R. H. Lyons of England, is an attempt to fill that gap.


 * Two book titles attributed to British bridge expert Sally Brock plausibly and certainly fit the BOLS tips.
 * Bridge Tips, 1998, 166 pp.
 * The Complete Book of BOLS Bridge Tips, ed. Sally Brock --Goodreads: Sally Brock gives dates 1997, 178pp. ppb and 2011, 418pp. Kindle; publisher Master Point Press of Toronto.
 * "For the first time ever, the entire collection of BOLS Bridge Tips are gathered here in one volume, edited and organized for easy access by the average player. Included too are biographies and photographs of all the contributors."
 * I wonder whether our second source --whose biographical prefaces are trivial to minimal Stubs-- is copied from one of these Brock/Master Point editions.

Steen Møller, 1987 winner. No commentary (too late for Reese). Differ only by Schogger extension of the preface "He is married to Kirsten who won the World Teams Olympiad in 1988 and has represented Denmark internationally more than any other woman."

Jean Besse, 1994 winner. identical "Jean Besse of Geneva died in 1995 aged 81. ..." Jean Besse, 1975 winner. Schogger gives lengthy preface including:
 * "In 1954 Besse, and the legendary Karl Schneider, were enlisted by the French, winners of the European that year, to represent Europe against the U.S.A in the Bermuda Bowl. The experiment was a mixed success and since then Europe has always been represented by a complete team from the winning country."
