Today, one of the most incredible people I know turned 87 years old. If I know anyone who had shared everything they know with anyone they can, it is Dick Oslund. Without hesitation, he has always been willing to help those with a craving to learn more about magic. To give people like me a hand up, and to share years upon years of experience he learned the hard way.
Looking at where I am today, I don't think I would be so much as half the magician I am today without him, and all that he has done for me. He opened many doors for me, and showed me many of the real secrets of magic. It would have taken me years to get where I am now, if it weren't for him. So I would like to wish Dick a Happy Birthday, and thank him for everything. And I encourage you to do the same. Happy Birthday, Dick! You make the world a better place. Cheers! ~Colton Raelund |

Happy Birthday, Dick!!!
Thank you for all the kindness that you have shown me. Your input here is greatly appreciated. I love hearing your anecdotes about magicians of the past. I also enjoy your Latin quotes... so I looked one up for you. Ars longa, vita brevis. I am glad that you were able to perfect your craft and bring joy to thousands. I am glad the Road Scholar will continue to inspire and instruct future magicians. Tim |

Well, well...:Once again I'm about a day late & a dollar short as to things.
But I'm always finding exciting things about you Dick, and anywhere I do, it's always something to learn, appreciate, investigate, something that illuminates... Happy Birthday to you my friend. Happy that you have seen so many good years and in those years, made everyone else (especially the kids) even happier. It's what life is all about, it's where we get our greatest strengths and do God's greatest work. Thank you Dick for all the many years...and many more to you, my friend. -Your friend, Marion (Mb)

Happy Birthday Dick.
I sure do miss those times sitting behind my RV at the fair in Centerville Michigan talking about being "with it." Hope your day is great and thanks for all the memories!

Thank you ALL, for your very kind thoughts and wishes!
Over the years, I've had the opportunity to counsel, and mentor, many young people, who wanted to learn, and perform magic. Many are now successful working pro's. Many are now avid amateurs. Colton, I especially thank you for your most thoughtful words!
