Dr. Schelling helped me get into the Univ of Md's School of Public Policy in 1993. He was one of my mentors and advisors as I started in the program. I was always amazed at his powers of recollection, remember dates and places and people over decades. He would share lots of stories with us from the times he had been advising past US Presidents. He exuded a quiet brilliance. What's equally amazing is that he remembered facts about his students, since he had probably taught hundreds of us over the years. I was also fascinated by his lectures on game theory to which he applied in everyday situations, including in social gatherings. He was very observant!  I'm sad to hear of his passing and offer my sincere condolences to his family.
