In 2003, while reading Northern Life,  a letter to the editor caught my eye. I knew the author of this letter very well.
She was Audrie Jamieson Brooks who had been our babysitter when our daughters were little and we were living on Wavell St. in Creighton Mine, just down the street from  Audrie and her parents.
In her letter, Audrie announced that she had devised a website
called Creighton Revisited for all Creightonites who had been
born, lived in, or were associated with the town.
She gave the website's address as
www.creighton.o-f.com
and invited everyone who was interested, to sign the
guestbook.
The response was over-whelming to say the least. To date, three
years later, the website has received more than 35,000
hits.
Former Creightonites living in all parts of Canada and the
United States are still discovering the website for the 
very first time.
To say that it was, and is, a huge success is an
under-statement.
The happiness expressed by people reconnecting with
former  friends, teachers, neighbours, is obvious. Renewed
interest in former Creighton residents' achievements, family
events, has blossomed.
The deep sense of our loss when Inco decided to demolish the
town in 1986, has not dampened the Spirit of Creighton
Mine.
The proof of this is that on the third Sunday of September
every year, there is a Creighton reunion at the townsite.
Never mind that there is nothing there. We all just gather and
catch up and reminisce and renew friendships.
The Creighton website has helped to make interested people
aware and has had a huge effect on the turnout every year.
We thank Audrie Jamieson Brooks for having the skill to make
Creighton Revisited a reality for us. Constant updates and new
features keep the website fresh and current. She does this even
though she resides in Thompson, Man.
We look forward to Audrie and her husband Earl being able to
attend a Creighton reunion in the near future so that we can
express our collective appreciation to her personally.
