Dr. Robert King Bane (’60, ’65 M.Ed.), 85, Professor Emeritus of education, died June 28. He taught at UNT for 36 years. Born in Denton and raised in Garland, he earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees at North Texas and a doctorate in elementary education from the University of Florida. He joined the education faculty at North Texas in 1970 and became known for his outstanding support of doctoral students, especially when they were writing their dissertations, and his supervision of student teachers. He was one of the first professors to introduce computers to the College of Education, and he developed and ran the computer lab for many years. His family says a favorite time of year for him was always Homecoming week, when he would attend the parade with his children and grandchildren. He also enjoyed attending football games and Theta Chi alumni functions during the year. With a passion for computer technology, he formed a company called Schoolhouse Software and developed a gradebook program designed for schools and teachers. He also was a movie buff and owned photography studios that specialized in portrait and wedding photography. A celebration of his life is scheduled for July 3 at Mulkey-Bowles-Montgomery Funeral Home, 705 N. Locust St., Denton. Visitation will begin at 10 a.m. and the service will begin at 11 a.m.
