T
he Columbine Genealogical and Historical Society extends a big “Thank you!” to the staff in the, Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder’s office, and staff for their courtesy and cooperation while we pursued this project. Without local access to records, this project would have been considerably more difficult to accomplish.The Society applauds Jean Wilson, Special Projects Coordinator, for her outstanding leadership regarding the transcription, computerization, and publication of Arapahoe County, Colorado, Marriages: 1940—1959, in two volumes. Members of the Committee who assisted with the design and development of this publication are listed below:
| John Cook | Mary Lou King | John Mossman |
| Donald R. Elliott | Spence Kline | Judith Phelps |
| Ray Harrell | Joyce Lohse | Tom Shupert |
| Bob Huegel | Joan McGrane | Connie Strandberg |
The Society also extends a heartfelt thanks to all the volunteer Columbine Genealogical and Historical Society members who met the challenge to help make this publication possible. Without their faith, dedication, and hard work extracting records, entering data into the computer, and proofreading copy, these two volumes of 27,706 names would not have been a reality. Volunteers who contributed their time and talents are listed below:
| Gloria Bauer | Shirley Jenkins | Mary Lou Scott |
| Paula Davis | Mary Lou King | C. R. Dick Spielman |
| Donald R. Elliott | Sue McMullin | Connie Strandberg |
| Rose Gaffney | Judity Phelps | Edith Trosper |
| Agnes Harlan | Joan Richmond | Janice Wilson |
| Bob Hunt | Claire Rogers | Larry Wilson |
A special thanks goes to Don Elliott, President of the Society, for his support, patience, and talent. He merged individual computer files, formatted this information in its final presentation form, and generated the surname index. The Society also thanks Judith Phelps, Special Projects Committee Member, who prepared the front matter for this compilation.
