He smiled and nodded his head when I first explained that to him.

One day when Watson was doing his research in Copenhagen working on his DNA discoveries, he received some journal articles that I had written, that were sent over from the U.S. He later told me when we met in London that he did not understand everything I was saying in the language of lab chemistry, but that he liked some of my interesting sentences. He said that when he writes his book to tell the world how he discovered the DNA secrets, he would write it in a way that would be fun to read even for a person not up to speed in deep math and chemistry. We exchanged letters in Europe in 1952 and agreed to meet.

During our meeting at a coffee house in London, Watson and I were joined by Watson's sister Elizabeth. I got up from my chair immediately when this beautiful woman approached our table, not knowing it was Watson's sister, but that was the right way for a gentleman to act. Well, Elizabeth joined us after finding an empty chair to put her shopping bags on. She had been exploring for new dresses in London's finest women's shops, and I stated that I was curious about what dress she bought.
She took her bags into the women's rest room and came out modeling a lovely new evening gown. I was impressed and smiled at her. Of course I was married very happily to my wife, but Watson didn't know that and tried to hook me up with his sister. I later learned that he hoped for me and his sister to be attracted to one another, so I would be around him more often and could help him solve the DNA mystery. As it turned out, he did it anyway, without my help, or his sister's help. But I'll always remember how gracious Watson was, and how attractive his sister was that day. I wonder if she ever got married. I'm sure she did, or else all the available, eligible men in her world were blind. Watson sure wasn't blind when it came to getting his research on DNA done the right way! And I wish him the best of luck with his book.
