Paul Bos

Post by XX Case XX »

Okay, I have a stupid question: How do you pronounce Paul Bos' last name? Is it like "Boss", or is it "Boz"?

I went to the Buck Website and did a real-time "Chat" with a guy named Kevin. I wasn't able to copy his reply before we closed the chat window but it went something like this:

"It's pronounced Boss but the S is softer. Not like a Z but not a hard S either".

I still don't know how to say it. ::shrug::

I met Paul Bos at the Oregon show several years ago. I had two or three handmade stiddys ahead made from railroad track, and a couple of them were pretty shiny. He asked me how I got them so shiny? That started quite an interesting conversation about working with metal. I asked him how how he managed to get such great performance of 420HC and he explained to me the system he had set up for QC at Buck. He explained the triple redundancy that he'd engineered into the process, it was quite fascinating.

I did ask him how he pronounced his name and he said "boss" just like you would refer to your supervisor as your boss.
It was like railsplitter said, an s, but not a hard s.
