One of the founders, the late E.W. (Mac) McDiarmid, led the Explorers as Sigerson from the group's founding until the early 1980s. Another founder, Dr. Bryce Crawford, Jr., still lives in the Twin Cities and has been an honored guest at recent Explorer functions. True to their academic roots, over the years the Explorers have published numerous monographs and anthologies and have sponsored several conferences.
