Bozgratch

This blog is starting out as a place to share with the family what’s happening with Frank.

What about the title? Well, that’s easier to ’splain than Frank’s condition.

A dear friend and mentor named Will Siekman had been a blueprint checker back in his days working at Austin-Western — a road construction company that I guess no longer even exists. When a draftsman would bring out a blueprint for one part which somehow did not fit into the rest of the machine Will found himself being asked to explain what was wrong with the drawing. Soon he found that some draftsmen were better than others, and that the novices and lazy ones relied on him to do their fact checking. So, “bozgratch” was born.

Bozgratch is simply this: Aomething is all mess up; the parts dont fit, the lines are wrong, discontinuity reigns supreme and you better find out what’s the matter and FIX it!
