David adds:
"Lane Brunner was a professor at the University of Texas at Tyler and 25-year member of the ANA. He joined the American Numismatic Association in 2004 as Director of Numismatic Curriculum. He eventually became Deputy Executive Director until he returned to academia as a founding dean of the School of Pharmacy for Regis College. He taught numerous numismatic courses, seminars and workshops at ANA conventions, Summer Seminars and at The University of Texas.
"Lane was one the best lecturers I ever videotaped. I was fortunate to be able to get Lane on video discussing multiple numismatic topics many of which can be found on the Newman Numismatic Portal. He presented his ideas in an easy-to-understand manner. He was gentle and knowledgeable. He never lost his love for the coin collecting hobby continuing to go to local coin conventions. He was a friend to all and will be missed. Numismatics has lost one of its great proponents."
