DFF

from Fancyclopedia 2 ca. 1959 and also Fancyclopedia 1 ca. 1944

Dixie Fan Federation, an organization to which fans in a rather hazily-defined South could belong. It was launched by the Columbia (SC) local in 1940, but soon became no more than its official organ, and never had any officers except the temporarily appointed ones. There was supposed to be a conference at Columbia in 1941 to get things started, but this fell thru. A group trip by car to the ChiCon or DenVention went unrealized, but the Spiritrip was made to the '42 Boskone.
