Lyon had an amazing life, growing up in Virginia, attending William and Mary, serving in the Pacific in WWII, becoming a lawyer, and later teaching at Virginia Military Institute and The Citadel.  Though active in the legal and historical areas, he never showed any political ambitions, unlike his grandfather, John Tyler, the 10th President of the United States :o  (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/10/09/president-john-tylers-grandson-lyon-gardiner-tyler-jr-dies-95/5935788002/).  RIP Lyon.
