Yes, George Lyons' father Leonard Lyons was a longtime columnist for the New York Post, and his brother is the film critic Jeffrey Lyons. His father's column was called "The Lyons Den", and George used variants of that name for his column in SCD and other hobby publications, as mentioned at the end of the article I posted. His nepher Ben Lyons (Jeffrey's son) also uses the "Lyons Den" name for his podcast.
