determining creation time of table

Hi,
How do I determine the creation time of table given its name ?

I know it's not easy to get last modification time of a table. So I want to
see if I can get creation time - checking the timestamp in region name(s) ?

Thanks

I don't know of a good way Ted?  It looks like the table directory
timestamp gets updated per change in its subdirs.  There's no
'creation' time in FileStatus.  Maybe someone else has an idea.
