Watson (1928-), signed in the style of George Gamow (1904-1968). This party was for members of the RNA Tie Club, an informal scientific club founded by Gamow. This club was formed during the summer of 1954, when Gamow, Watson, Francis Crick (1916-2004), and Sydney Brenner (1927-2019) discussed genetics at Woods Hole, on Cape Cod.
"Mr. Tomkins and the facts of life" references the book, Mr. Tompkins Learns the Facts of Life which was written by Gamow and published in 1953.
