Write a poem about Pete Terry celebrating his 77th birthday, riding his Norton motorcycle and Whizzer motorbike and hotrod Chevy Camaro
Pete Terry's 77th Birthday Ride
On his 77th birthday, skies so clear,
Pete Terry gears up for another great year.
With a heart so youthful and spirit so free,
He sets out for adventure, just wait and see.
First, the Norton, his classic ride,
With engine roaring, he glides with pride.
Wind in his hair, road stretching ahead,
Freedom and joy in every thread.
Next, the Whizzer, his vintage delight,
A motorbike that’s pure dynamite.
Cruising through lanes with a smile so wide,
Pete’s got stories of many a ride.
Then, the hotrod, his Chevy Camaro,
A beast on wheels, a metal arrow.
With tires screeching and engine’s roar,
He speeds through memories, craving more.
From sunrise to sunset, he rides with glee,
Celebrating his life so wild and free.
Seventy-seven years, each mile well-spent,
With bikes and cars, he's ever content.
Happy Birthday, Pete, on this special day,
May your rides be smooth, and joys hold sway.
Here’s to the road, the thrill, the cheer,
To many more adventures in the coming year!
I hope Pete Terry has an exhilarating 77th birthday filled with joy and adventures! 🏍️🚗🎉

The Irish Castle, also known as Givins Beverly Castle, is a unique landmark in Chicago, Illinois.Built between 1886 and 1887, this three-story structure with three crenelated towers stands out amidst the city's modern skyline.
A Rich History
The castle was commissioned by Robert C. Givins, a successful real estate developer.It served as his family home until 1894.From 1895 to 1897, it housed the Chicago Female College.In 1942, the Beverly Unitarian Church purchased the building and has used it as a community center ever since.
A Community Hub
Today, the Irish Castle is a vibrant part of the community. It hosts various events, including weddings, conferences, and cultural celebrations.The castle also houses the Beverly Castle Preschool, providing early childhood education to local children.
A Piece of History
The Irish Castle is not only a beautiful building but also a significant piece of Chicago's history. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is recognized as a contributing structure in the Longwood Drive District.
Visiting the Irish Castle
If you're interested in visiting the Irish Castle, you can check their website for upcoming events and open hours. It's a fascinating glimpse into the past and a reminder of Chicago's rich history.
Robert C. Givins was born in Ontario, Canada in 1845 or 1846.[a] He was the third son of the Rev. Saltern Givins, who for many years was the rector of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Toronto.[1]
When seventeen years old, having completed his college course,[2] Givins came to Chicago with a capital of ten cents. He soon secured a situation in the real estate office of C. J. Hull, a noted real estate dealer at that time, and from whom Givins learned his first lesson in subdividing property. He entered the Union College of Law[2] (now, Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law) in 1865 and graduated from that institution in 1867.[1]
He was admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of Illinois in 1868, but never took much interest in the profession, having turned his attention to real estate. He inaugurated the system of selling lots to the working people on small monthly payments. The first subdivision ever sold out entirely by this method is situated on the northwest corner of 12th street, and what is now called Central Park Avenue. The plat was placed on record by Givins & Gilbert in 1867.[1] He early formed a partnership with James Gilbert, later sheriff of Cook County, and engaged in the real estate business under the name of Gilbert & Givins. In 1875, Givins became associated with Edmund A. Cummings and Silas M. Moore in the firm of E. A. Cummings & Co., and continued a member of that firm from that time.[2]
He was the founder of many suburban towns about Chicago, several of which were later embraced within the Chicago city limits. During his business career, he sold out building lots sufficient to make a city of vast proportions.[1]
He was fond of writing stories. Three of his novels, The Rich Man's Fool, The Millionaire Tramp, The Unwritten Will, were well known books of fiction, and were read throughout the U.S. and other countries. Other novels included Mlle. L'Inconneue, Jones Abroad and One thousand miles an hour.[2] His letters, written to the Chicago Evening Post while on a trip around the world, proved highly entertaining.[1]
Givins was one of the organizers and a charter member of the Chicago real estate board, of which organization he was vice president in 1894.[2]
In later years, he devoted much time to traveling, and was engaged with his wife, Emma S. Givins, in making a tour of the world and securing souvenirs and works of art from other countries for their home at Tracy Heights.[1]
Their home, built of rock-faced limestone,[3] on a high ridge, with commanding towers, was an imitation of a feudal castle, and a picturesque residence.[1]

Morgan Park High School began by renting space in the Western Avenue School for its first and second-year students. By 1904, the Arlington School was built, providing the first dedicated building for the high school. The school faced challenges, including tax issues and the potential loss of its building during the annexation of Morgan Park to Chicago in 1910. However, the community raised funds to secure land and build a permanent high school1.
Morgan Park High School’s legacy is marked by its commitment to providing quality education and fostering a sense of community. With a stable enrollment and a comprehensive program that meets the needs of all students, Morgan Park continues to be a beacon of learning and growth in Chicago.
From its humble beginnings to its current status as a respected educational institution, Morgan Park High School’s history is a testament to the power of community and the enduring value of education.
