Breendoggle and Breen Blackball

This folder includes several documents pertaining to Walter H. Breen and his being blackballed by FAPA (Fantasy Amateur Press Association). Breen was convicted of child molestation in 1954, was banned from attending Pacificon II (1964), and was briefly blackballed by FAPA after further allegations of sex crimes. A petition was formed to overturn the blackball. This event is referred to as the "Breendoggle".
