We interviewed Dave Walden in 2009, along with a number of his colleagues at BBN. Here’s the record with a link to the transcript,  https://www.computerhistory.org/collections/catalog/102702119. Video should be available on request. We have one of the original IMPs he helped develop in our permanent exhibition: https://www.computerhistory.org/revolution/networking/19/407

Dave is a huge loss. He was both a key networking pioneer and hugely active as a colleague in preserving and interpreting computer history. And a good person. 

Regards, Marc

Hello - 

Many of you will have heard the sad news of Dave Walden’s passing.  Katie Hafner wrote an obituary for the New York Times.  (I believe the previous link will work for everyone, including non-subscribers). 

Dave made so many contributions to computing, and to the history of computing, and he will be very sorely missed. His personal website has substantial material of significant historical interest: see https://www.walden-family.com/.
